Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including double-strand break repair; positive regulation of DNA repair; and smooth muscle contraction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including generation of neurons; negative regulation of neuron differentiation; and positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and neuromuscular junction. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Alzheimer's disease. Orthologous to human APBB1 (amyloid beta precursor protein binding family B member 1).
