Dnajc2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable several functions, including Hsp70 protein binding activity; ribosome binding activity; and ubiquitin-modified histone reader activity. Acts upstream of or within DNA replication and negative regulation of DNA biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; nuclear membrane; and nucleolus. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; blastocyst; brain; hemolymphoid system gland; and reproductive system. Orthologous to human DNAJC2 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Dnajc2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
