Smurf1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable SMAD binding activity; signaling receptor binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in type 2 mitophagy. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including defense response to virus; negative regulation of ossification; and protein K63-linked ubiquitination. Predicted to be located in axon and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and plasma membrane. Predicted to colocalize with mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and respiratory system. Orthologous to human SMURF1 (SMAD specific E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 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 Smurf1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
