ID Q58DR2; PN DnaJ homolog subfamily B member 12; GN DNAJB12; OS 9913; SL Nucleus Position: SL-0178; SL Nucleus Position: SL-0182; SL Comments: Endoplasmic reticulum membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9NXW2}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255}. Nucleus membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9NXW2}; Single- pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9NXW2}. Note=Localizes to the endoplasmic reticulum membrane. When overexpressed, forms membranous structures in the nucleus. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9NXW2}. DR UNIPROT: Q58DR2; DR Pfam: PF00226; DR Pfam: PF09320; DR PROSITE: PS00636; DR PROSITE: PS50076; DE Function: Acts as a co-chaperone with HSPA8/Hsc70; required to promote protein folding and trafficking, prevent aggregation of client proteins, and promote unfolded proteins to endoplasmic reticulum- associated degradation (ERAD) pathway. Acts by determining HSPA8/Hsc70's ATPase and polypeptide-binding activities. Can also act independently of HSPA8/Hsc70: together with DNAJB14, acts as a chaperone that promotes maturation of potassium channels KCND2 and KCNH2 by stabilizing nascent channel subunits and assembling them into tetramers. While stabilization of nascent channel proteins is dependent on HSPA8/Hsc70, the process of oligomerization of channel subunits is independent of HSPA8/Hsc70. When overexpressed, forms membranous structures together with DNAJB14 and HSPA8/Hsc70 within the nucleus; the role of these structures, named DJANGOs, is still unclear. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9NXW2}.
