Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable UFM1 ligase activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in hemopoiesis; positive regulation of autophagy; and response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of glial cell proliferation; regulation of gene expression; and response to L-glutamate. Located in cytoplasm and neuron projection. Is expressed in cerebellum; cerebral cortex; embryo; and liver. Orthologous to human UFL1 (UFM1 specific ligase 1).
