Dnajc15 Gene Summary [Rat]

Predicted to enable ATPase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in protein import into mitochondrial matrix. Predicted to act 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. Predicted to be located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Predicted to be part of PAM complex, Tim23 associated import motor. 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 rat 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.
