Dnajb5 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Predicted to enable protein-folding chaperone binding activity and unfolded protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including nervous system; olfactory epithelium; retina; skeletal musculature; and tongue. Orthologous to human DNAJB5 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member B5). [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 Dnajb5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
