Nhlrc1 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in glycogen biosynthetic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including glycogen metabolic process; proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and regulation of protein modification process. Located in nucleus and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Used to study Lafora disease. Orthologous to human NHLRC1 (NHL repeat 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 Nhlrc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
