Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including Y-form DNA binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of DNA recombination; response to UV; and spermatogenesis. Located in XY body and male germ cell nucleus. Part of chromatin. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal medulla; dorsal root ganglion; testis; trunk mesenchyme derived from neural crest; and urinary system. Orthologous to human RAD18 (RAD18 E3 ubiquitin protein ligase).
