DZIP3
Function
E3 Ubiquitin ligase proteins mediate ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. E3 ubiquitin ligases accept ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates. Able to specifically bind RNA.
Pathway
Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.
Tissue Specificity
Widely expressed at low level. Highly expressed in skeletal muscle, kidney and heart. Expressed at low level in placenta, lung, brain, liver and pancreas.
Cellular localization
- Cytoplasm
