Dnajc9 Protein is an important component in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes.
Overview
DNAJC9 (DnaJ Heat Shock Protein Family (Hsp40) Member C9) is a co-chaperone protein that functions as a J-domain protein, assisting Hsp70 chaperones in protein folding, refolding, and targeting misfolded proteins for degradation. DNAJC9 plays important roles in cellular proteostasis, particularly in the nucleus and during stress responses [@qiu2006][@kampinga2009].
