    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in protein modification, ubiquitin cycle
  • E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates ubiquitination of TP73, to stabilize TP73 and enhance activation of transcription by TP73
  • is a positive regulator of GDNF/Ret signaling during enteric neurogenesis
  • potential functional link between HECW2 dysfunction and brain development
  • CELLULAR PROCESS protein, ubiquitin dependent proteolysis
