DNAJB6

DnaJ homolog subfamily B member 6 is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the DNAJB6 is_associated_with::gene.

Function
This gene encodes a member of the DNAJ protein family. DNAJ family members are characterized by a highly conserved amino acid stretch called the 'J-domain' and function as one of the two major classes of molecular chaperones involved in a wide range of cellular events, such as protein folding and oligomeric protein complex assembly. This family member may also play a role in polyglutamine aggregation in specific neurons. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants; however, not all variants have been fully described.

Interactions
DNAJB6 has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::Keratin 18.
