Background
This gene encodes an enzyme that has E2-dependent E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity. This enzyme belongs to a class of ubiquitin ligases that include a RING finger motif, and it can interact with the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme UbcH5B. This gene is located in an area of chromosome X where several X-linked mental retardation disorders have been associated, and it has also been found as part of a contiguous gene deletion associated with craniofrontonasal syndrome, though a direct link to any disorder has yet to be demonstrated. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2010],
Function
domain:The RING-type zinc finger domain interacts with an ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (E2) and facilitates ubiquitination.,function:Has E2-dependent E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity. Ubiquitinates MAGED1 antigen leading to its subsequent degradation by proteosome (By similarity). May be involved in protein sorting.,PTM:Substrate for E2-dependent ubiquitination.,similarity:Contains 1 RING-type zinc finger.,subunit:Binds ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes (E2s). In vitro, interacts with the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme, UBE2D2.,tissue specificity:Expressed in various regions of the brain including the cerebellum, cerebral cortex, medulla, occipital pole, frontal lobe, temporal lobe and putamen. Highest levels in the cerebral cortex.,
