Gene: UBAP1

Alternate names for this Gene: NAG20|SPG80|UAP|UBAP|UBAP-1

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the UBA domain family, whose members include proteins having connections to ubiquitin and the ubiquitination pathway. The ubiquitin associated domain is thought to be a non-covalent ubiquitin binding domain consisting of a compact three helix bundle. This particular protein originates from a gene locus in a refined region on chromosome 9 undergoing loss of heterozygosity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Taking into account its cytogenetic location, this UBA domain family member is being studies as a putative target for mutation in nasopharyngeal carcinomas. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 9

Location in Chromosome : 9p13.3

Description of this Gene: ubiquitin associated protein 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
