About DNAJC2

Cytogenetic location: 7q22.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 7:103,312,289-103,344,767 (from NCBI)

This gene has 11 transcripts (splice variants), 231 orthologues and 20 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 19.0), testis (RPKM 17.8) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene is a member of the M-phase phosphoprotein (MPP) family. The gene encodes a phosphoprotein with a J domain and a Myb DNA-binding domain which localizes to both the nucleus and the cytosol. The protein is capable of forming a heterodimeric complex that associates with ribosomes, acting as a molecular chaperone for nascent polypeptide chains as they exit the ribosome. This protein was identified as a leukemia-associated antigen and expression of the gene is upregulated in leukemic blasts. Also, chromosomal aberrations involving this gene are associated with primary head and neck squamous cell tumors. This gene has a pseudogene on chromosome 6. Alternatively spliced variants which encode different protein isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
