About UBQLN1

Cytogenetic location: 9q21.32 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 9:83,659,968-83,707,958 (from NCBI)

This gene has 6 transcripts (splice variants), 181 orthologues and 5 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in brain (RPKM 34.9), bone marrow (RPKM 27.8) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes an ubiquitin-like protein (ubiquilin) that shares a high degree of similarity with related products in yeast, rat and frog. Ubiquilins contain an N-terminal ubiquitin-like domain and a C-terminal ubiquitin-associated domain. They physically associate with both proteasomes and ubiquitin ligases, and thus are thought to functionally link the ubiquitination machinery to the Proteasome to affect in vivo protein degradation. This ubiquilin has also been shown to modulate accumulation of presenilin proteins, and it is found in lesions associated with Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
