Primary Identifier | MGI:98889 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 5 | NCBI Gene Number | 22190 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.3.0) Predicted to enable protease binding activity; protein tag activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in modification-dependent protein catabolic process and protein ubiquitination. Located in myelin sheath. Is expressed in inner ear; jugular lymph sac; oocyte; telencephalon; and trunk unsegmented mesenchyme. Orthologous to human UBC (ubiquitin C). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous null embryos die between E 12.5 and E14.5 most likely due to a severe defect in liver cell proliferation. Mutant MEFs exhibit reduced growth rates, premature senescence, increased apoptosis and delayed cell-cycle progression, and are hypersensitive to proteasome inhibitors and heat shock.
