Gene: DNAJC5
Official Full Name: DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C5provided by HGNC
Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the J protein family. J proteins function in many cellular processes by regulating the ATPase activity of 70 kDa heat shock proteins. The encoded protein plays a role in membrane trafficking and protein folding, and has been shown to have anti-neurodegenerative properties. The encoded protein is known to play a role in cystic fibrosis and Huntington's disease. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the short arm of chromosome 8. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2010]

DNAJC5 Gene Knockout Cell Lines are specialized cell lines engineered to delete the DNAJC5 gene, which encodes a molecular chaperone involved in synaptic vesicle recycling. These knockout models serve as invaluable tools for dissecting the pathways associated with synaptic function, protein quality control, and the underlying mechanisms of several neurodegenerative diseases, including those linked to synaptic dysfunction. By eliminating the expression of DNAJC5, researchers can investigate the phenotypic consequences and unravel the roles of this gene in neuronal health and disease.
The key function of the DNAJC5 gene knockout cell lines lies in their ability to mimic the pathophysiological conditions seen in conditions of impaired synaptic transmission. This allows researchers to observe alterations in synaptic vesicle dynamics, neurotransmitter release, and overall neuronal viability. By utilizing these cell lines, scientists can perform assays that assess functional deficits related to synaptic activity, potentially identifying new therapeutic targets and validating drug candidates for Alzheimer's disease and related disorders.
Scientific importance resonates through their application in both basic research and translational science. These models facilitate the study of genetic interactions and environmental factors that may contribute to the pathogenesis of various neurological conditions. Moreover, they provide a robust framework for high-throughput screening applications, offering insights into the therapeutic potential of novel compounds targeting synaptic deficiencies.
Compared to alternatives, DNAJC5 knockout cell lines stand out due to their specificity and relevance in studying synaptic mechanisms dysregulated in human conditions. Their genetically defined nature ensures reproducibility in experimental setups and provides a definite advantage over less specific models, allowing for precise manipulation of the biological questions being addressed.
For researchers and clinicians focused on neurology, these cell lines represent a pivotal asset that accelerates the understanding of synaptic pathologies and the search for effective treatments.
