Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 72685 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable clathrin heavy chain binding activity and heat shock protein binding activity. Involved in clathrin-dependent endocytosis and synaptic vesicle uncoating. Acts upstream of or within clathrin coat disassembly and regulation of clathrin-dependent endocytosis. Located in postsynaptic density. Is extrinsic component of presynaptic endocytic zone membrane. Is expressed in genital tubercle of male; gut; nervous system; and sensory organ. 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). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous and heterozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit postnatal lethality and decreased body weight with homozygotes exhibiting decreased synpatic vesicle recycling.
