Predicted to enable Hsp70 protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to misfolded protein; chaperone cofactor-dependent protein refolding; and ubiquitin-dependent ERAD pathway. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and nuclear membrane. Predicted to be integral component of endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; immune system; and integumental system. Orthologous to human DNAJB12 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member B12). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
