    Summary
    Predicted to enable chaperone binding activity; protein folding chaperone; and unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chaperone cofactor-dependent protein refolding. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in adult head. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 1 and distal spinal muscular atrophy type 5. Orthologous to several human genes including DNAJB2 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member B2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
