Dnajc5 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable ATP-dependent protein binding activity. Involved in chaperone-mediated protein folding and regulation of synaptic vesicle cycle. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of neuron apoptotic process. Located in synaptic vesicle. Is active in neuromuscular junction and presynapse. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 4. Orthologous to human DNAJC5 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C5).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Dnajc5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
