Product Specs

Introduction
Human DnaJ homolog subfamily A member 1 (DNAJA1), also known as Hsp40, is a heat shock protein that plays a critical role in protein folding and cellular stress response. It functions as a cochaperone with Hsp70, assisting in the folding of newly synthesized proteins, refolding of misfolded proteins, and prevention of protein aggregation.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

DnaJ, also known as Heat Shock Protein 40 (HSP40), is a member of the heat shock protein family. These proteins play a crucial role in cellular processes by aiding in protein folding, transport, and assembly. The human recombinant form of DnaJ (HSP40) is a synthesized version of this protein, which is used in various research and therapeutic applications.

Structure and Function

DnaJ (HSP40) proteins are characterized by the presence of a J-domain, which is essential for their function. The J-domain interacts with the ATPase domain of HSP70, another heat shock protein, to stimulate its activity. This interaction is vital for the protein’s role as a molecular chaperone, helping to prevent protein aggregation and assisting in the proper folding of nascent polypeptides .

Role in Cellular Processes

HSP40 proteins are involved in several critical cellular processes, including:

  • Protein Folding: HSP40 assists HSP70 in the folding of newly synthesized proteins and the refolding of misfolded proteins.
  • Protein Transport: It helps in the transport of proteins across cellular membranes.
  • Protein Degradation: HSP40 targets improperly folded proteins for degradation, thus maintaining cellular protein homeostasis .
Clinical Significance

The role of DnaJ (HSP40) in preventing protein aggregation is particularly significant in the context of neurodegenerative diseases. For instance, the isoform DNAJB6b has been shown to prevent tau aggregation in neuronal cells, which is a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease . This makes HSP40 a potential target for therapeutic interventions in such conditions.

Recombinant HSP40

Recombinant human HSP40 is produced using bacterial expression systems, such as Escherichia coli. The recombinant protein is often tagged with a histidine tag to facilitate purification. It is supplied in various formulations, including carrier-free versions, to suit different research needs .

Applications

Recombinant HSP40 is used in a variety of research applications, including:

  • Protein Interaction Studies: To study the interaction between HSP40 and other proteins.
  • Drug Development: As a target for developing drugs aimed at treating diseases associated with protein misfolding.
  • Cellular Stress Response Research: To understand the cellular mechanisms involved in stress responses .
