Predicted to enable Hsp70 protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cellular response to misfolded protein; chaperone cofactor-dependent protein refolding; and ubiquitin-dependent ERAD pathway. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Orthologous to human DNAJC18 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C18). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
