DNAJC13 DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C13

Gene ID: 23317, updated on 28-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RME8; PARK21

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the Dnaj protein family whose members act as co-chaperones of a partner heat-shock protein by binding to the latter and stimulating ATP hydrolysis. The encoded protein associates with the heat-shock protein Hsc70 and plays a role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis. It may also be involved in post-endocytic transport mechanisms via its associations with other proteins, including the sorting nexin SNX1. Mutations in this gene are associated with Parkinson's disease. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2016]
