Enables protein folding chaperone. Involved in protein folding. Acts upstream of or within binding activity of sperm to zona pellucida; negative regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity involved in apoptotic process; and response to heat. Located in cell body and mitochondrion. Part of zona pellucida receptor complex. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; heart; humerus; and lung.
