Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable ubiquitin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process via the multivesicular body sorting pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within protein transport. Predicted to be located in cytosol; intracellular membrane-bounded organelle; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of ESCRT I complex. Used to study hereditary spastic paraplegia 80. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 80. Orthologous to human UBAP1 (ubiquitin associated protein 1).
