| Gene Summary: | This gene encodes a member of the DNAJ heat shock protein 40 family of co-chaperone proteins that is characterized by an N-terminal DNAJ domain, a linker region, and a cysteine-rich C-terminal domain. The encoded protein, together with heat shock protein 70, is thought to regulate the proper folding of other proteins. The orthologous mouse protein is membrane-associated and is targeted to the trans-golgi network. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017] |
