Summary
Predicted to enable ATPase activator activity; protein-folding chaperone binding activity; and unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in chaperone cofactor-dependent protein refolding and negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in Z disc; nucleoplasm; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Used to study distal myopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital myopathy 21. Orthologous to human DNAJB4 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member B4).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
