Predicted to enable chaperone binding activity and unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in axonemal central apparatus assembly and chaperone cofactor-dependent protein refolding. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell projection organization. Located in axoneme and sperm connecting piece. Is expressed in several structures, including brain ventricle and choroid plexus; ventricular layer; and white fat. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary ciliary dyskinesia 34. Orthologous to human DNAJB13 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member B13).
