HUWE1 HECT, UBA and WWE domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1

Gene ID: 10075, updated on 3-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: MULE; Ib772; LASU1; MRXST; UREB1; HECTH9; URE-B1; ARF-BP1; HSPC272

Summary

This gene encodes a protein containing a C-terminal HECT (E6AP type E3 ubiquitin protein ligase) domain that functions as an E3 ubiquitin ligase. The encoded protein is required for the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of the anti-apoptotic protein Mcl1 (myeloid cell leukemia sequence 1 (BCL2-related)). This protein also ubiquitinates the p53 tumor suppressor, core histones, and DNA polymerase beta. Mutations in this gene are associated with Turner type X-linked syndromic cognitive disability.
