Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of protein K48-linked ubiquitination; positive regulation of defense response to virus by host; and positive regulation of signal transduction. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system; genitourinary system; and retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aniridia. Orthologous to human TRIM44 (tripartite motif containing 44).
