BFAR Gene Summary [Human]
Enables caspase binding activity; protein-macromolecule adaptor activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in negative regulation of IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response; proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and protein ubiquitination. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of apoptotic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum and membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human BFAR often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
