Predicted to enable several functions, including ATP binding activity; ATP hydrolysis activity; and misfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to unfolded protein; chaperone cofactor-dependent protein refolding; and protein refolding. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum. Predicted to be active in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; nervous system; sensory organ; and thymus.
