Predicted to enable several functions, including Hsp70 protein binding activity; ribosome binding activity; and ubiquitin-modified histone reader activity. Acts upstream of or within DNA replication and negative regulation of DNA biosynthetic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; nuclear membrane; and nucleolus. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; blastocyst; brain; hemolymphoid system gland; and reproductive system. Orthologous to human DNAJC2 (DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C2).
