Brap Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity; nuclear localization sequence binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in Ras protein signal transduction; negative regulation of signal transduction; and protein ubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of or within MAPK cascade. Predicted to be located in cytosol; nuclear membrane; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of ubiquitin ligase complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; genitourinary system; retina; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human BRAP (BRCA1 associated protein).

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