von Hippel–Lindau binding protein 1 (VBP1) also known as prefoldin 3 is a chaperone protein that binds to von Hippel–Lindau protein and transports it from perinuclear granules to the nucleus or cytoplasm inside the cell. It is also involved in transporting nascent polypeptides to cytosolic chaperonins for post-translational folding.VBP1 is a 197–amino acid heterohexamer comprising two prefoldin-α and four prefoldin-β subunits and is a member of the prefoldin-α subunit family.
