Dnaja4 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable protein-folding chaperone binding activity and unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of endothelial cell migration; negative regulation of inclusion body assembly; and protein refolding. Predicted to be located in membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human DNAJA4 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member A4). [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 Dnaja4 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
