DNAJB5

Chr 9

DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member B5

Also known as: Hsc40

NCBI Gene: 25822ENSG00000137094UniProt: O75953

This gene encodes a member of the DNAJ heat shock protein 40 family of co-chaperone proteins. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal DNAJ domain and a C-terminal substrate binding domain but lacks the cysteine-rich domain found in other DNAJ family members. In mice, a multi-protein complex containing this protein, thioredoxin 1, and histone deacetylase 4, serves as a master negative regulator of cardiac hypertrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2017]

Population Genetics & Constraint

gnomAD v4 — loss-of-function & missense intolerance

gnomAD
Missense constrained — critical functional residues
LoF Constraint?LOEUF (Loss-of-function Observed/Expected Upper bound Fraction) is the upper bound of the 90% CI for LoF OE — the preferred gnomAD v4 metric. Lower = more intolerant to LoF. LOEUF < 0.35 = highly constrained.
0.59LOEUF
pLI 0.206
Z-score 2.72
OE 0.26 (0.13–0.59)
Moderately constrained

More LoF-intolerant than ~75% of genes

Missense Constraint?Missense Z-score: standard deviations fewer missense variants observed vs. expected. Z > 3.09 (p < 0.001) = gene does not tolerate missense variation. OE missense < 0.6 is also considered constrained.
