Function GTPase which can activate the MEK/ERK pathway and induce cell transformation when overexpressed. May act as a nuclear scaffold for MAPK1, probably by association with MAPK1 nuclear export signal leading to enhanced ERK1/ERK2 signaling. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CFP6}.
Miscellaneous DNAJC27/RBJ knockdown in several colorectal cancer cell lines is correlated to inhibition of MEK/ERK activation, cell proliferation, colony formation and in vivo tumor growth. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24746703}.
Similarity Belongs to the small GTPase superfamily. Rab family. {ECO:0000305}.
Similarity Contains 1 J domain. {ECO:0000255|PROSITE- ProRule:PRU00286}.
Subcellular Location Nucleus {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CFP6}.
Subunit Interacts directly with MAPK1 (wild-type and kinase- deficient forms). Interacts directly (in GTP-bound form) with MAP2K1 (wild-type and kinase-deficient forms). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CFP6}.
Tissue Specificity Overexpressed in gastrointestinal cancers; expression correlates with later tumor-node-metastasis stages of colorectal cancers. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24746703}.
