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. Is expressed in telencephalon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 15. Orthologous to human UBQLN2 (ubiquilin 2).

Results have shown that the two P497S and P506T mutant UBQLN2 Tg mouse lines recapitulate the central features of ALS with frontotemporal dementia (ALS-FTD) found in humans and indicate that these mutant UBQLN2 mice with end stage of disease display a reduction of TDP-43 staining in the nucleus with concomitant formation of cytoplasmic ubiquitin+ inclusions in spinal motor neurons.

UBQLN2 most evidently bound to HSP70-type chaperones, UBQLN1 and UBQLN4 and to a lesser extent to proteasomal subunits; UBQLN2 may be involved in the regulation of misfolded proteins. Mutations in UBQLN2, which lead to neurodegeneration in humans, are defective in chaperone binding, impair aggregate clearance, and cause cognitive deficits in mice.

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.
