Dnaja3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables GTPase regulator activity; receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity; and unfolded protein binding activity. Involved in skeletal muscle acetylcholine-gated channel clustering. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including activation-induced cell death of T cells; mitochondrial DNA replication; and positive regulation of T cell proliferation. Located in several cellular components, including cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane; neuromuscular junction; and postsynaptic membrane. Orthologous to human DNAJA3 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member A3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Dnaja3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
