Dnajc3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables several functions, including misfolded protein binding activity; protein kinase inhibitor activity; and protein-folding chaperone binding activity. Involved in cellular response to cold; proteolysis involved in protein catabolic process; and regulation of translational initiation. Located in cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human DNAJC3 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C3). [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 Dnajc3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
