Gene: DNAJC5B

Alternate names for this Gene: CSP-beta

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the DNAJ heat shock protein 40 family of co-chaperone proteins that is characterized by an N-terminal DNAJ domain, a linker region, and a cysteine-rich C-terminal domain. The encoded protein, together with heat shock protein 70, is thought to regulate the proper folding of other proteins. The orthologous mouse protein is membrane-associated and is targeted to the trans-golgi network.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 8

Location in Chromosome : 8q13.1

Description of this Gene: DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C5 beta

Type of Gene: protein-coding
