Marchf8 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable MHC class II protein binding activity and ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including antigen processing and presentation of peptide antigen via MHC class II; negative regulation of MHC class II biosynthetic process; and protein polyubiquitination. Predicted to be located in endosome. Predicted to be active in early endosome membrane; late endosome membrane; and lysosome. Orthologous to human MARCHF8 (membrane associated ring-CH-type finger 8).

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 Marchf8 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
