    Summary
    Predicted to enable ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in innate immune response; positive regulation of cysteine-type endopeptidase activity; and regulation of gene expression. Located in cytoplasm and female germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in bladder; central nervous system; and ureter. Orthologous to several human genes including RFPL4A (ret finger protein like 4A). [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.
