pfd-5 encodes a putative prefoldin 5 subunit, orthologous to human PFDN5 (OMIM:604899), that is required for normal microtubule growth, embryonic and larval viability, fertility, vulval development, and locomotion; PFD-5 is expressed in most, if not all, tissues; pfd-5(RNAi) animals show sterile progeny, larval arrest or lethality, uncoordination, and abnormal body shapes, and pfd-5(RNAi) embryos show a reduced microtubule growth rate.
