Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
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 ERAD pathway; negative regulation of receptor-mediated endocytosis; and regulation of autophagosome assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within autophagy. 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).
