Herpud1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in protein targeting to ER; regulation of ERAD pathway; and regulation of endoplasmic reticulum stress-induced intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within endoplasmic reticulum unfolded protein response; regulation of protein ubiquitination; and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and endoplasmic reticulum quality control compartment. Is expressed in several structures, including clavicle; craniocervical region bone; early conceptus; and olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to human HERPUD1 (homocysteine inducible ER protein with ubiquitin like domain 1). [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 Herpud1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
