Marchf8

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the membrane-associated really interesting new gene-CH family of proteins. These proteins are E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases that modulate antigen presentation by downregulating major histocompatibility complex class II surface expression through endocytosis. The transcript is primarily expressed by dendritic cells and macrophages. Overexpression of this gene in antigen presenting cells results in immune defective phenotypes, including resistance to autoimmune disease onset. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2014]

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 Marchf8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
