Summary
Predicted to enable SUMO binding activity; ubiquitin protein ligase activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of Notch signaling pathway; neuron differentiation; and spermatogenesis. Located in mitochondrial inner membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; liver; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder 38 and pigmentation disease. Orthologous to human HERC2 (HECT and RLD domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
