Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable heat shock protein binding activity; histone binding activity; and protein-folding chaperone binding activity. Predicted to be involved in nucleosome assembly. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytosol; extracellular space; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of protein folding chaperone complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; connective tissue; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human DNAJC9 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C9).
