Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates ubiquitination of TFRC, CD86, FAS and MHC class II proteins, such as HLA-DR alpha and beta, and promotes their subsequent endocytosis and sorting to lysosomes via multivesicular bodies. By constitutively ubiquitinating MHC class II proteins in immature dendritic cells, down-regulates their cell surface localization thus sequestering them in the intracellular endosomal system. {ECO:0000269PubMed:14722266, ECO:0000269PubMed:18305173, ECO:0000269PubMed:18389477, ECO:0000269PubMed:19117940}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in antigen presenting cells, APCs, located in lymph nodes and spleen. Also expressed in lung. Expression is high in follicular B-cells, moderate in dendritic cells and low in splenic T-cells. {ECO:0000269PubMed:14722266, ECO:0000269PubMed:17255932}.
