DNAJC9 Proteins

Protein Information

DjC9 (DnaJ subfamily C member 9) belongs to the Hsp40 (heat shock protein 40) family of proteins that function as co-chaperones to Hsp70.Hsp40 proteins are classified into 3 main subfamilies (A, B, and C). The families are defined by the presence of particular domains which include a highly conserved alpha-helical N-terminal domain termed the J-domain, a glycine/phenylalanine-rich region, a cysteine-rich region, and a C-terminal beta-sheet containing domain. DjC9 is part of subfamily C that bears only the J-domain. DjC9 has been shown to interact with HSP70 through its J domain and activate its ATPase activity.
