Structured_descriptionAutomated_descriptionInvolved 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).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

Disease_relevanceMutations in human DNAJC5 are implicated in adult onset neuronal lipofuscinosis (ANCL; Kufs disease and Parry disease), a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by progressive neuronal dysfunction and premature death; DNAJC5 encodes an evolutionarily conserved member of the DnaJ/Hsp40 family of molecular chaperones known as cysteine string protein (CSP); in C. elegans, mutants of dnj-14 (tm3223, ok237), which is orthologous to human DNAJC5, show reduced life-span, impaired locomotion, reduced neurotransmission and impaired chemosensation; older dnj-14 animals exhibited neuronal abnormalities like loss of neuronal cell bodies, reduction in the number of visible neurites, and the presence of contorted neuronal processes; use of this dnj-14 model identified resveratrol as a compound that could extend dnj-14 mutant lifespan, partially rescue the neurodegeneration phenotype and significantly ameliorate the chemotaxis defects of dnj-14 mutants; this resveratrol activity was mimicked by phosphodiesterase inhibition and independent of SIR-2.1/Sirtuin, unlike in other C. elegans neurodegeneration models where resveratrol activity was shown to be sir-2.1 dependent.Homo sapiensPaper_evidenceWBPaper00045410

Reference (14)
RemarkMap 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.CGC_data_submission
