Summary: Predicted to enable ubiquitin ligase complex scaffold activity; ubiquitin protein ligase activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to UV; in utero embryonic development; and ribosome biogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of granulocyte differentiation; regulation of cell cycle phase transition; and regulation of nucleotide-excision repair. Part of Cul4A-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; genitourinary system; and musculoskeletal system. Orthologous to human CUL4A (cullin 4A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 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.
