DNAJC7 DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C7

Gene ID: 7266, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: DJ11; DJC7; TPR2; TTC2

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the DNAJ heat shock protein 40 family of proteins that is characterized by two N-terminal tetratricopeptide repeat domains and a C-terminal DNAJ domain. This protein binds the chaperone proteins heat shock proteins 70 and 90 in an ATP-dependent manner and may function as a co-chaperone. Pseudogenes of this gene are found on chromosomes 1 and 6. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
