Summary: Enables UFM1 ligase activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of reticulophagy; regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of cell population proliferation; regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Located in cytoplasm; nucleus; and site of double-strand break. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and mitochondrial outer membrane.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
