NEDD4 NEDD4 E3 ubiquitin protein ligase

Gene ID: 4734, updated on 10-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: RPF1; NEDD4-1

Summary

This gene is the founding member of the NEDD4 family of HECT ubiquitin ligases that function in the ubiquitin proteasome system of protein degradation. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal calcium and phospholipid binding C2 domain followed by multiple tryptophan-rich WW domains and, a C-terminal HECT ubiquitin ligase catalytic domain. It plays critical role in the regulation of a number of membrane receptors, endocytic machinery components and the tumor suppressor PTEN. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
