Dnajc15 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable ATPase activator activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to starvation; negative regulation of mitochondrial electron transport, NADH to ubiquinone; and negative regulation of protein-containing complex assembly. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in endocrine gland; genitourinary system; heart; and nervous system. Orthologous to human DNAJC15 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C15). [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 Dnajc15 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
