Caenorhabditis elegans Enables identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including mechanosensory behavior; positive regulation of nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; and vesicle-mediated transport. Located in endosome. Expressed in coelomocyte; hypodermal cell; muscle cell; oocyte; and uterus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Parkinson's disease. Is an ortholog of human DNAJC13 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C13).
