About ITCH

Cytogenetic location: 20q11.22 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 20:34,363,273-34,511,773 (from NCBI)

This gene has 19 transcripts (splice variants), 285 orthologues, 24 paralogues and is associated with 3 phenotypes. Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 12.7), esophagus (RPKM 11.6) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the Nedd4 family of HECT domain E3 ubiquitin ligases. HECT domain E3 ubiquitin ligases transfer ubiquitin from E2 ubiquitin-conjugating Enzymes to protein substrates, thus targeting specific proteins for lysosomal degradation. The encoded protein plays a role in multiple cellular processes including erythroid and lymphoid cell differentiation and the regulation of immune responses. Mutations in this gene are a cause of syndromic multisystem autoimmune disease. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene.
