Also known as: ILP2; ILP-2; hILP2; RNF136
Summary: Predicted to enable cysteine-type endopeptidase inhibitor activity involved in apoptotic process and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of apoptotic process; positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; and positive regulation of protein ubiquitination. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. [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.
