Isg15 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables protein tag activity. Involved in several processes, including ISG15-protein conjugation; defense response to other organism; and positive regulation of erythrocyte differentiation. Acts upstream of or within modification-dependent protein catabolic process and response to bacterium. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in brain; decidua; embryo; labyrinthine zone; and mesometrium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in immunodeficiency 38. Orthologous to human ISG15 (ISG15 ubiquitin like modifier). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Isg15 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
