Function
DNAJC11 encodes a DnaJ/Hsp40 co-chaperone protein localized to the mitochondrial matrix. It functions as a co-chaperone that assists Hsp70 in protein folding and mitochondrial protein quality control. DNAJC11 interacts with mitochondrial Hsp70 (mortalin/HSPA9) to facilitate protein import and folding. Mutations in DNAJC11 cause a form of hereditary spastic paraplegia associated with mitochondrial dysfunction, and reduced DNAJC11 expression may contribute to Parkinson's disease pathogenesis.
Expression
Expressed in brain, heart, muscle, and other tissues with high mitochondrial content. Mitochondrial localization.
