Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including C3HC4-type RING finger domain binding activity; Hsp70 protein binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within androgen receptor signaling pathway; flagellated sperm motility; and spermatogenesis. Predicted to be located in membrane and microtubule cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including 1st branchial arch mandibular component; alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and hemolymphoid system. Orthologous to human DNAJA1 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member A1).
