Summary: Enables ligase activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of JNK cascade; negative regulation of NF-kappaB transcription factor activity; and protein K48-linked ubiquitination. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of CD4-positive, alpha-beta T cell proliferation; positive regulation of T cell anergy; and positive regulation of protein catabolic process. Located in several cellular components, including cell cortex; cytoplasmic vesicle; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human ITCH (itchy E3 ubiquitin protein ligase). [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.
