In vivo treatment with an inhibitor of MCJ expression protects liver from acetaminophen-induced liver injury in mouse model at a time when N-acetylcysteine, the standard therapy, has no efficacy. Acetaminophen-induced liver injury progresses through the central participation of MCJ in vitro and in vivo.

DNAJC15 localizes at the mitochondrial inner membrane, where it interacts preferentially with complex I of the electron transfer chain.DnaJC15 functions as a negative regulator of mitochondrial membrane potential and ATP production.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
