Mgrn1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in endosome to lysosome transport; negative regulation of signal transduction; and protein monoubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including heart development; protein polyubiquitination; and smoothened signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of ubiquitin ligase complex. Predicted to be active in early endosome and nucleus. Orthologous to human MGRN1 (mahogunin ring finger 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 rat Mgrn1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
