It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 34.9% of cell lines).

Predicted to enable ATP hydrolysis activity; heat shock protein binding activity; and protein folding chaperone. Predicted to be involved in chaperone cofactor-dependent protein refolding and protein refolding. Located in cytosol and ribosome.

All UniProt accessions (2): Q0VDF9, H7C2A1

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →

Function. Component of the ribosome-associated complex (RAC), a complex involved in folding or maintaining nascent polypeptides in a folding-competent state. In the RAC complex, binds to the nascent polypeptide chain, while DNAJC2 stimulates its ATPase activity.

Subunit / interactions. Component of ribosome-associated complex (RAC), a heterodimer composed of Hsp70/DnaK-type chaperone HSPA14 and Hsp40/DnaJ-type chaperone DNAJC2.

Subcellular location. Cytoplasm. Cytosol.

Miscellaneous. Acts as a potent immunoadjuvant, capable to interact with antigen-presenting cells and generating efficient CD8(+) T-cell responses. May be used as adjuvant to enhance effect of vaccine G1F/M2, a candidate vaccine against respiratory syncytial virus (RSV), a major respiratory pathogen in newborns. May also be used as adjuvant to prepare antigenic fusion protein for the therapeutics of cancers.

Similarity. Belongs to the heat shock protein 70 family.
