| Description |
hsp-6 encodes a mitochondrial-specific chaperone that is a member of the DnaK/Hsp70 superfamily of molecular chaperones; hsp-6 is believed to be involved in the mitochondrial unfolded protein response, as hsp-6 expression, normally broadly detected from the L1 larval through adult stages of development, is greatly increased in response to treatments that disrupt mitochondrial protein handling; loss of hsp-6 activity via RNAi results in severe growth defects with arrest at embryonic and early larval stages of development. |
