ZNRF1

The RING-type zinc finger domain is required for E3 ligase activity.

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that plays a role in different processes including cell differentiation, receptor recycling or regulation of inflammation (PubMed:28593998, PubMed:33996800, PubMed:37158982). Mediates the ubiquitination of AKT1 and GLUL, thereby playing a role in neuron cells differentiation. Plays a role in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal transmission and plasticity. Regulates Schwann cells differentiation by mediating ubiquitination of GLUL. Promotes neurodegeneration by mediating 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitination and subsequent degradation of AKT1 in axons: degradation of AKT1 prevents AKT1-mediated phosphorylation of GSK3B, leading to GSK3B activation and phosphorylation of DPYSL2/CRMP2 followed by destabilization of microtubule assembly in axons. Ubiquitinates the Na(+)/K(+) ATPase alpha-1 subunit/ATP1A1 and thereby influences its endocytosis and/or degradation (PubMed:22797923). Controls ligand-induced EGFR signaling via mediating receptor ubiquitination and recruitment of the ESCRT machinery (PubMed:33996800). Acts as a negative feedback mechanism controlling TLR3 trafficking by mediating TLR3 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitination to reduce type I IFN production (PubMed:37158982). Modulates inflammation by promoting caveolin-1/CAV1 ubiquitination and degradation to regulate TLR4-activated immune response (PubMed:28593998).

Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.

N-myristoylation targets ZNRF1 to intracellular membranes.

Phosphorylated by SRC at Tyr-103; leading to 'Lys-63'-linked ubiquitination of TLR3, lysosomal trafficking and degradation.

Expressed primarily in the nervous system, with expression higher in developing brain relative to adult. Expressed at low levels in testis and thymus.
