DNAJB1
DNAJB1 (Hdj1, Hsp40, Sis1) is a human class B Hsp40/J-domain co-chaperone on chromosome 19p13.12 that stimulates Hsp70 ATPase, is autoinhibited by its GF region, drives amyloid disaggregation, and forms the DNAJB1-PRKACA fusion defining fibrolamellar carcinoma.
DNAJB6
DNAJB6 (MRJ, Hsj2), gene at 7q36.3, encodes a human Hsp40/J-domain co-chaperone of HSP70 that suppresses polyglutamine aggregation; dominant G/F-domain mutations cause limb-girdle muscular dystrophy D1 (LGMDD1).
