CATEGORY

enzyme

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
	intracellular,nucleus,nucleoplasm

basic FUNCTION	involved in controlling neural crest development
	plays a critical role in ER-associated degradation (ERAD) together with NPLOC4 and VCP
	having a function in the ubiquitination reaction during ERAD, and playing a critical role in cholesterol metabolism
	enhances the E3 activity of AMFR, accelerates the ubiquitination and degradation of reductase, and eventually promotes receptor-mediated uptake of low-density lipoprotein (Cao 2007)

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

development

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

the VCP-UFD1L-NPLOC4 complex recognizes polyubiquitin chains and transfers the ubiquitinated proteins to the proteasome

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	NPLOC4
	directly interacts with AMFR and functions as a cofactor (enhances the E3 activity of AMFR, accelerates the ubiquitination and degradation of reductase, and eventually promotes receptor-mediated uptake of low-density lipoprotein)
	UBXN7 may have a cooperative effect on VCP interaction with UFD1L
