Nedd8 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable protein tag activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Involved in regulation of postsynapse assembly. Acts upstream of or within protein localization and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Located in nucleus. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; genitourinary system; peripheral nervous system ganglion; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human NEDD8 (NEDD8 ubiquitin like modifier). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 mouse Nedd8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
