OverviewNCBI Gene

This gene encodes a member of the DNAJ heat shock protein 40 family of co-chaperone proteins that is characterized by an N-terminal DNAJ domain, a linker region, and a cysteine-rich C-terminal domain. The encoded protein, together with heat shock protein 70, is thought to regulate the proper folding of other proteins. The orthologous mouse protein is membrane-associated and is targeted to the trans-golgi network. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

LocalizationUniProt · AlphaFold · HPA

Whether an antibody against DNAJC5B can act on the native protein depends on physical access: surface and secreted proteins are reachable by circulating antibodies, intracellular proteins usually are not.

Genetic constraint and essentialitygnomAD · DepMap

Does the body need this protein intact? Low LOEUF or a strong DepMap dependency means loss or blockade of the protein is likely to be felt.

Antibody and autoantibody relevanceSeroatlas analysis

Seroatlas reads DNAJC5B as an antibody target. Whether an autoantibody or antibody against DNAJC5B could matter depends on whether native DNAJC5B is physically reachable, whether the body needs it intact, and whether it acts in a disease-relevant tissue.

DNAJC5B is annotated as predominantly intracellular. Intracellular proteins are common autoantibody markers, becoming visible to the immune system after cell injury or altered processing, but are usually markers of disease rather than direct drivers.

Annotation status

The present source text does not explicitly label DNAJC5B as an autoantigen. Seroatlas presents hypothesis context only and does not manufacture a known-serology claim.

Canonical record: https://seroatlas.com/gene/DNAJC5B. Study-independent annotations aggregated from UniProt, Human Protein Atlas, PubMed, IEDB, Pfam, InterPro, Gene Ontology, AlphaFold, gnomAD, DepMap, ClinVar, TCGA. Catalog release seroatlas-reviewed-human-uniprot-20260313.
