Gene: UBR1
Alternate names for this Gene: JBS
Gene Summary: The N-end rule pathway is one proteolytic pathway of the ubiquitin system. The recognition component of this pathway, encoded by this gene, binds to a destabilizing N-terminal residue of a substrate protein and participates in the formation of a substrate-linked multiubiquitin chain. This leads to the eventual degradation of the substrate protein. The protein described in this record has a RING-type zinc finger and a UBR-type zinc finger. Mutations in this gene have been associated with Johanson-Blizzard syndrome.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 15
Location in Chromosome : 15q15.2
Description of this Gene: ubiquitin protein ligase E3 component n-recognin 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
