Full name: DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member A2

Gene type: protein coding

RefSeq status: REVIEWED

Also known as: CPR3; DJ3; DJA2; DNAJ; DNJ3; HIRIP4; PRO3015; RDJ2

Summary: The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the evolutionarily conserved DNAJ/HSP40 family of proteins, which regulate molecular chaperone activity by stimulating ATPase activity. DNAJ proteins may have up to 3 distinct domains: a conserved 70-amino acid J domain, usually at the N terminus; a glycine/phenylalanine (G/F)-rich region; and a cysteine-rich domain containing 4 motifs resembling a zinc finger domain. The product of this gene works as a cochaperone of Hsp70s in protein folding and mitochondrial protein import in vitro. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
