The encoded protein plays a role in neurofilament architecture and is involved in mediating the ubiquitination and degradation of some proteins. Defects in this gene are a cause of giant axonal neuropathy (GAN). [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: Probable cytoskeletal component that directly or indirectly plays an important role in neurofilament architecture. May act as a substrate-specific adapter of an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Controls degradation of TBCB. Controls degradation of MAP1B and MAP1S, and is critical for neuronal maintenance and survival. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12147674, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15983046, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16227972, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16303566}. |Kelch 1| |BTB| |BACK| |Cul3-RING ubiquitin ligase complex| |post-translational protein modification| |cytoskeleton| |protein ubiquitination| |molecular function| |protein modification by small protein conjugation| |protein modification by small protein conjugation or removal| |cytoskeleton organization| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
