Product Specs

Introduction
DNAJB4 (DnaJ (Hsp40) Homolog, Subfamily B, Member 4) is a protein belonging to the DNAJ/HSP40 protein family, known for its evolutionary conservation. It typically exists as a homodimer and is believed to function as a chaperone. DNAJB4 interacts with several other proteins, including OPRM1 through its C-terminal section and SDIM1. Its expression is highest in the heart, pancreas, and skeletal muscle, with lower levels detected in the brain, placenta, and liver.
Description
This product consists of a recombinant human DNAJB4 protein produced in E. coli. It is a single, non-glycosylated polypeptide chain comprising 360 amino acids (amino acids 1-337), resulting in a molecular weight of 40 kDa. The protein includes a 23 amino acid His-tag attached to the N-terminus. Purification is achieved using proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Physical Appearance
A clear, colorless solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
The DNAJB4 protein is supplied in a solution at a concentration of 0.25 mg/ml. The solution also contains 20mM Tris-HCl buffer (pH 7.5), 0.2M NaCl, 30% glycerol, and 1mM DTT.
Stability
For short-term storage (2-4 weeks), the product can be kept at 4°C. For extended storage, it is recommended to freeze the product at -20°C. Adding a carrier protein like HSA or BSA to a final concentration of 0.1% is advisable for long-term storage. Repeated freezing and thawing of the product should be minimized.
Purity
Purity is confirmed to be greater than 90% using SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Structure and Function

DNAJB4 is a molecular chaperone that assists in the proper folding of proteins and the degradation of misfolded proteins. It is known to bind to the cell adhesion protein E-cadherin, targeting it to the plasma membrane. Additionally, DNAJB4 binds incorrectly folded E-cadherin and directs it for endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation .

The protein is involved in several cellular processes, including:

  • Protein folding: DNAJB4 stimulates ATP hydrolysis and the folding of unfolded proteins mediated by HSPA1A/B .
  • Tumor suppression: DNAJB4 acts as a tumor suppressor, particularly in colorectal carcinoma. Downregulation of this gene may serve as a biomarker for predicting patient outcomes .
  • Cellular stress response: As a member of the heat shock protein family, DNAJB4 helps cells cope with stress by preventing the aggregation of misfolded proteins .
Genetic Information

The DNAJB4 gene is located on chromosome 1 and has several transcript variants encoding different isoforms . It is evolutionarily conserved and shares similarities with other members of the DnaJ/Hsp40 family .

Clinical Significance

Mutations or alterations in the DNAJB4 gene have been associated with various diseases, including:

  • Congenital Myopathy 21 with Early Respiratory Failure: A neuromuscular disease characterized by muscle weakness and respiratory issues .
  • Neuromuscular Disease: General conditions affecting the muscles and nerves .
Research and Applications

Recombinant DNAJB4 protein is used in research to study its function and role in disease. It is also utilized in the development of potential therapeutic strategies for conditions related to protein misfolding and cellular stress responses .
