Dnajc6 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable clathrin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in endocytosis; intracellular transport; and regulation of clathrin coat assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within clathrin coat disassembly and regulation of clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Predicted to be located in synapse. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including intracellular membrane-bounded organelle; postsynaptic density; and vesicle. Predicted to be extrinsic component of presynaptic endocytic zone membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease and Parkinson's disease 19A. Orthologous to human DNAJC6 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C6). [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 rat Dnajc6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
