Predicted to enable misfolded protein binding activity; signaling receptor binding activity; and unfolded protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in positive regulation of ATPase activity and protein maturation. Predicted to act upstream of or within mRNA modification and negative regulation of neurogenesis. Part of endoplasmic reticulum chaperone complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in polycystic kidney disease. Orthologous to human DNAJB11 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member B11). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
