Summary
Enables ATP binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and ubiquitin-ubiquitin ligase activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including protein ubiquitination; ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and ventricular trabecula myocardium morphogenesis. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human UBE4B (ubiquitination factor E4B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 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.
