Gan Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process and protein ubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of or within cytoskeleton organization. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Predicted to be part of Cul3-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; integumental system; nervous system; and respiratory system. Used to study giant axonal neuropathy 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in giant axonal neuropathy 1. Orthologous to human GAN (gigaxonin).

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