Description
Product Characteristics: Acts as a co-chaperone with HSPA8/Hsc70, required to promote protein folding and trafficking, prevent aggregation of client proteins, and promote unfolded proteins to endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD pathway. Acts by determining HSPA8/Hsc70's ATPase and polypeptide-binding activities. Can also act independently of HSPA8/Hsc70: together with DNAJB12, acts as a chaperone that promotes maturation of potassium channels KCND2 and KCNH2 by stabilizing nascent channel subunits and assembling them into tetramers. While stabilization of nascent channel proteins is dependent on HSPA8/Hsc70, the process of oligomerization of channel subunits is independent of HSPA8/Hsc70. When overexpressed, forms membranous structures together with DNAJB12 and HSPA8/Hsc70 within the nucleus, the role of these structures, named DJANGOs, is still unclear.,DNAJB14,EGNR9427,PRO34683,Epigenetics & Nuclear Signaling,Signal Transduction,DNAJB14
Target Information: May act as a co-chaperone (By similarity)
