Ubl4a Gene Summary [Mouse]
This locus represents naturally occurring readthrough transcription between the neighboring Slc10a3 (solute carrier family 10 (sodium/bile acid cotransporter family), member 3) and Ubl4 (ubiquitin-like 4) genes on chromosome X. While some readthrough transcripts encode a protein that is identical to the downstream gene product, at least one readthrough transcript appears to be a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD), and is unlikely to produce a protein product.

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 Ubl4a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
