Maea Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable actin binding activity. Predicted to contribute to ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Predicted to be involved in cell adhesion; negative regulation of myeloid cell apoptotic process; and proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Predicted to act upstream of or within cytoskeleton organization and enucleate erythrocyte development. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton; nuclear lumen; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be part of GID complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and nucleus. Orthologous to human MAEA (macrophage erythroblast attacher, E3 ubiquitin ligase).

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 Maea often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- CTLH/CRA C-terminal to LisH motif domain
- CT11-RanBPM
- actin binding
- RING finger (Really Interesting New Gene) domain and U-box domain superfamily
- C-terminal to LisH motif
- LisH
