Uba5 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables UFM1 activating enzyme activity. Involved in myeloid cell differentiation; protein ufmylation; and regulation of type II interferon production. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Is expressed in liver. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 24 and developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 44. Orthologous to human UBA5 (ubiquitin like modifier activating enzyme 5). [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 Uba5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
