Background
MARCH8 is a member of the MARCH family of membrane-bound E3 ubiquitin ligases (EC 6.3.2.19). MARCH enzymes add ubiquitin (see MIM 191339) to target lysines in substrate proteins, thereby signaling their vesicular transport between membrane compartments. MARCH8 induces the internalization of several membrane glycoproteins (Goto et al., 2003 [PubMed 12582153]; Bartee et al., 2004 [PubMed 14722266]).[supplied by OMIM, Apr 2010],
Function
domain:The RING-CH-type zinc finger domain is required for E3 ligase activity.,function:E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that may regulate immune responses by promoting ubiquitination of MHC-II and CD86, which leads to their subsequent endocytosis and lysosomal degradation. May also promote ubiquitination and endocytosis of TFRC and FAS. E3 ubiquitin ligases accept ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfer the ubiquitin to targeted substrates.,pathway:Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.,similarity:Contains 1 RING-CH-type zinc finger.,subunit:Interacts with CD86.,tissue specificity:Broadly expressed. Present in immature dendritic cells (at protein level).,
