Fem1a Gene Summary [Rat]
Enables EP4 subtype prostaglandin E2 receptor binding activity and ubiquitin ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in negative regulation of inflammatory response and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process via the C-end degron rule pathway. Part of Cul2-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Is active in mitochondrion. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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 Fem1a often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
