Summary: Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; molecular condensate scaffold activity; and polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of receptor-mediated endocytosis; proteolysis involved in protein catabolic process; and regulation of catabolic process. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 15. Orthologous to human UBQLN2 (ubiquilin 2).

Impaired 26S Proteasome Assembly Precedes Neuronal Loss in Mutant UBQLN2 Rats.
Title: Impaired 26S Proteasome Assembly Precedes Neuronal Loss in Mutant UBQLN2 Rats.
The results of this study suggested that selectively expressing mutant UBQLN2(P497H) in motor neurons is sufficient to trigger the development of ALS in rats
Title: Mutant UBQLN2(P497H) in motor neurons leads to ALS-like phenotypes and defective autophagy in rats.
our findings in Ubqln2 transgenic and knockout rats collectively suggest that pathogenic Ubqln2 causes neuron death mainly through a gain of unrevealed functions rather than a loss of physiological functions
Title: Pathogenic Ubqln2 gains toxic properties to induce neuron death.

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.
