DnaJ homolog subfamily B member 3 (DNAJB3 HCG3)

Function

• may operate as a co-chaperone of the male germ cell & haploid stage-specific Hsp70 proteins

Structure

• contains 1 J domain

Expression

expressed in sperm (at protein level)

Notes

• due to a premature stop codon, the human protein is truncated & lacks the DNAJB3 canonical C-terminal domain
• however, expression studies suggest the existence of the mRNA and protein in human

More general terms

• DNAJ homolog subfamily B
