Chromosome | 4 | NCBI Gene Number | 66825 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable ubiquitin protein ligase activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway in response to endoplasmic reticulum stress; proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and protein ubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of with a positive effect on regulation of autophagosome assembly. Predicted to be active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; liver and biliary system; and musculoskeletal system. Orthologous to human RNF186 (ring finger protein 186). PHENOTYPE: Although mice homozygous for a null allele do not develop spontaneous colitis, they show increased permeability of organic solutes in the colon, disturbed protein homeostasis and enhanced endoplasmic reticulum stress in colonic epithelia, and increased susceptibility to induced colitis.
