Small heat shock protein (sHSP) with chaperone activity; forms hollow, sphere-shaped oligomers that suppress unfolded proteins aggregation; long-lived protein that is preferentially retained in mother cells and forms cytoplasmic foci; oligomer activation requires heat-induced conformational change; also has mRNA binding activity [Source:SGD;Acc:S000000276]

Chromosome II: 382,030-382,674 forward strand.

R64-1-1:BK006936.2
