NCIt synonyms : DnaJ Homolog Subfamily B Member 4 wt Allele; HLJ1; DjB4; DNAJW;
NCIt definition : Human DNAJB4 wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 1p31.1 and is approximately
12 kb in length. This allele, which encodes DnaJ homolog subfamily B member 4 protein,
plays a role in the regulation of protein chaperone activity. The expression of the
allele correlates negatively with cancer cell invasion ability. Further, it has been
demonstrated to have an inhibitory effect on non-small-cell lung cancer development
and is currently being investigated as a prognostic biomarker for the disease.;
