Involved in determination of adult lifespan; locomotion; and neurotransmitter secretion. Predicted to be located in type Is terminal bouton. Used to study neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis 4. Is an ortholog of human DNAJC5 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C5) and DNAJC5B (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C5 beta).
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.
