Summary
Enables ATPase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including ERAD pathway; granzyme-mediated apoptotic signaling pathway; and protein polyubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; protein ubiquitination; and ventricular trabecula myocardium morphogenesis. Predicted to be part of ubiquitin ligase complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human UBE4B (ubiquitination factor E4B).

Expression
Biased expression in Kidney (RPKM 135.0), Adrenal (RPKM 124.1) and 9 other tissues See more

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.
