Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
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).
