Primary Identifier | MGI:107373 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 14 | NCBI Gene Number | 100037258 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Enables several functions, including misfolded protein binding activity; protein kinase inhibitor activity; and protein-folding chaperone binding activity. Involved in cellular response to cold; proteolysis involved in protein catabolic process; and regulation of translational initiation. Located in cytosol and endoplasmic reticulum lumen. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system gland; and liver and biliary system. Orthologous to human DNAJC3 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C3). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null mice are smaller in size, have a lower percentage of body fat and develop a gradual onset of glucosuria and hyperglycemia associated with increasing apoptosis of pancreatic islet cells.
