Summary: Enables ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in protein polyubiquitination and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of epithelial cell proliferation involved in prostate gland development; regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; and secretory columnal luminar epithelial cell differentiation involved in prostate glandular acinus development. Part of Cul4B-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in genitourinary system. Orthologous to human WDR77 (WD repeat domain 77). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
