Of interest is that this member of the DNAJ family has been found upregulated in human bladder carcinoma, gastric adenocarcinoma, and glioblastoma cell lines by the OCT4B1 variant (octamer-binding transcription factor 4 B1 variant) which is expressed by pluripotent normal and cancer stem cell lines and linked to anti-apoptosis [61]. Here, DNAJA2 is linked to cancer.
