Function | Co-chaperone for HSP/HSP70 proteins. It functions as a nucleotide-exchange factor promoting the release of ADP from HSP70, thereby activating HSP70-mediated protein refolding (PubMed:20223214). Has an essential role in maintaining proteostasis at junctional membrane complexes (JMC), where it may function as a scaffold between the HSPA8 chaperone and JMC proteins enabling correct, HSPA8-dependent JMC protein folding (By similarity). Inhibits both auto-ubiquitination of PRKN and ubiquitination of target proteins by PRKN (By similarity). |
Cellular Location | Note=In cardiomyocytes, localized at specialized membrane contact sites between T-tubules and the sarcoplasmic reticulum, known as junctional membrane complexes {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CI32} |
Tissue Location | Expressed in the heart. |

Background
Inhibits both auto-ubiquitination of PARK2 and ubiquitination of target proteins by PARK2 (By similarity). May function as a nucleotide exchange factor for HSP/HSP70, promoting ADP release, and activating Hsp70-mediated refolding.
