Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase mediating 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination of LIMK1 and its subsequent targeting to the proteasome for degradation. Negatively regulates axonal outgrowth through regulation of the LIMK1 turnover. Mediates 'Lys-6' and 'Lys-27'-linked polyubiquitination of AR/androgen receptor thereby modulating its transcriptional activity. May also bind DNA and function as a transcriptional regulator. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11971979, ECO:0000269PubMed:16204183}.

Subcellular Localization

Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cell projection, axon. Nucleus, PML body. Note=Localizes to the PML nuclear bodies in Sertoli cells.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed with higher expression in the testis in both germ cells and Sertoli cells. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11971979}.
