General description of the gene and the encoded protein(s) using information from HGNC and Ensembl, as well as predictions made by the Human Protein Atlas project.
Gene namei
Official gene symbol, which is typically a short form of the gene name, according to HGNC.
Assigned HPA protein class(es) for the encoded protein(s).
Enzymes
Predicted locationi
All transcripts of all genes have been analyzed regarding the location(s) of corresponding protein based on prediction methods for signal peptides and transmembrane regions.
Genes with at least one transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, according to prediction methods or to UniProt location data, have been further annotated and classified with the aim to determine if the corresponding protein(s) are secreted or actually retained in intracellular locations or membrane-attached.
Remaining genes, with no transcript predicted to encode a secreted protein, will be assigned the prediction-based location(s).
The annotated location overrules the predicted location, so that a gene encoding a predicted secreted protein that has been annotated as intracellular will have intracellular as the final location.
Gene information from Ensembl and Entrez, as well as links to available gene identifiers are displayed here. Information was retrieved from Ensembl if not indicated otherwise.

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme and then transfers it to targeted substrates, promoting their degradation by the proteasome 1,2,3,4,5. Together with UBR4, component of the N-end rule pathway: ubiquitinates proteins bearing specific N-terminal residues that are destabilizing according to the N-end rule, leading to their degradation 6,7. Does not ubiquitinate proteins that are acetylated at the N-terminus 8. Together with UBR4, part of a protein quality control pathway that catalyzes ubiquitination and degradation of proteins that have been oxidized in response to reactive oxygen species (ROS): recognizes proteins with an Arg-CysO3(H) degron at the N-terminus, and mediates assembly of heterotypic 'Lys-63'-/'Lys-27'-linked branched ubiquitin chains on oxidized proteins, leading to their degradation by autophagy 9. Catalytic component of the SIFI complex, a multiprotein complex required to inhibit the mitochondrial stress response after a specific stress event has been resolved: ubiquitinates and degrades (1) components of the HRI-mediated signaling of the integrated stress response, such as DELE1 and EIF2AK1/HRI, as well as (2) unimported mitochondrial precursors 10. Within the SIFI complex, UBR4 initiates ubiquitin chain that are further elongated or branched by KCMF1 11....show less
