This gene encodes a protein that has been reported to function in signaling pathways governing transcriptional regulation and cell cycle progression. It may play a role in tumorigenesis and metastasis. A pseudogene of this gene is located on the long arm of chromosome 20. Alternative splicing result
Enables UFM1 ligase activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of reticulophagy; regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and regulation of primary metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including posit
ive regulation of cell population proliferation; regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Located in cytoplasm; nucleus; and site of double-strand break. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in endoplasmic reticulum membrane and mitochondrial outer membrane.
