Heat shock proteins (HSPs), particularly members of the HSP40 family, are central regulators of cellular stress responses, yet the specific role of DNAJB4/HLJ1 in APAP-induced hepatotoxicity remains poorly defined. To address this gap, we employed DNAJB4/HLJ1-deficient mice (Dnajb4<sup>-/-</sup>) to investigate the function of DNAJB4/HLJ1 in APAP-induced liver injury.
