Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables ubiquitin ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in DNA damage response and protein K63-linked ubiquitination. Part of SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. Is active in site of double-strand break. Is expressed in cerebellum; cerebral cortex; liver; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2B2; ataxia-oculomotor apraxia type 4; and microcephaly, seizures, and developmental delay. Orthologous to human PNKP (polynucleotide kinase 3'-phosphatase).
