Wwp1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in negative regulation of DNA-templated transcription; proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and protein ubiquitination. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in limb; limb mesenchyme; and spinal cord. Orthologous to human WWP1 (WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1).

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 Wwp1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
