The function of ENSG00000168259 (DNAJC7, DnaJ heat shock protein family (Hsp40) member C7) is as follows. Acts as a co-chaperone regulating the molecular chaperones HSP70 and HSP90 in folding of steroid receptors, such as the glucocorticoid receptor and the progesterone receptor. Proposed to act as a recycling chaperone by facilitating the return of chaperone substrates to early stages of chaperoning if further folding is required. In vitro, induces ATP-independent dissociation of HSP90 but not of HSP70 from the chaperone-substrate complexes. Recruits NR1I3 to the cytoplasm (By similarity). {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12853476, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18620420}.
