Groes is a molecular chaperone that works in conjunction with another protein called Groel. Both proteins are part of the chaperonin family, which assists in the proper folding of proteins within the cell. Groes specifically forms a complex with Groel, often referred to as the Groel-Groes complex, to facilitate the correct folding of newly synthesized proteins and prevent misfolded proteins that could be detrimental to the cell.
