Table 1.
The canonical and prefoldin-like subunit nomenclature. Most prefoldin subunits have synonymic names. In order to facilitate comprehension, in this review, we have chosen the main nomenclature of metazoan prefoldin (PFDN1-6). Likewise, the mammalian prefoldin-like subunits have been named several times. We call them URI and UXT for the sake of simplicity.
