Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables protein folding chaperone. Involved in protein folding. Acts upstream of or within chaperone cofactor-dependent protein refolding. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including dendritic spine; neuronal cell body; and sperm head. Predicted to be active in cytosol; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system and retina. Orthologous to human DNAJB1 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member B1).
