UNC45B Acts as a co-chaperone for HSP90 and is required for proper folding of the myosin motor domain. Plays a role in sarcomere formation during muscle cell development. Is necessary for normal early lens development. Expressed in eye lens tissues. 3 alternatively spliced human isoforms have been reported.
