    Summary
    Enables caspase binding activity; protein-macromolecule adaptor activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in negative regulation of IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response; proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and protein ubiquitination. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of apoptotic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. [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.
