Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin specifically from endoplasmic reticulum-associated UBC7 E2 ligase and transfers it to substrates, promoting their degradation (PubMed:12459480, PubMed:12646171, PubMed:12975321, PubMed:14593114, PubMed:16289116, PubMed:16847254, PubMed:17059562, PubMed:17141218, PubMed:17170702, PubMed:22607976, PubMed:26471130, PubMed:28827405). Component of the endoplasmic reticulum quality control (ERQC) system also called ER-associated degradation (ERAD) involved in ubiquitin-dependent degradation of misfolded endoplasmic reticulum proteins (PubMed:12459480, PubMed:12646171, PubMed:12975321, PubMed:14593114, PubMed:16289116, PubMed:16847254, PubMed:17059562, PubMed:17141218, PubMed:17170702, PubMed:22607976, PubMed:26471130, PubMed:28842558). Also promotes the degradation of normal but naturally short-lived proteins such as SGK. Protects cells from ER stress-induced apoptosis. Protects neurons from apoptosis induced by polyglutamine-expanded huntingtin (HTT) or unfolded GPR37 by promoting their degradation (PubMed:17141218). Sequesters p53/TP53 in the cytoplasm and promotes its degradation, thereby negatively regulating its biological function in transcription, cell cycle regulation and apoptosis (PubMed:17170702). Mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of cytoplasmic NFE2L1 (By similarity). During the early stage of B cell development, required for degradation of the pre-B cell receptor (pre-BCR) complex, hence supporting further differentiation into mature B cells (By similarity).
