HECW1 rabbit pAb

Function: E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of DVL1. Also targets the mutant SOD1 protein involved in familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (FALS). Forms cytotoxic aggregates with DVL1, SSR3 and mutant SOD1 that lead to motor neuron death in FALS. pathway: Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. similarity: Contains 1 C2 domain. similarity: Contains 1 HECT (E6AP-type E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase) domain. similarity: Contains 2 WW domains. subunit: Interacts with DVL1 and SSR3. Also interacts with mutant SOD1. tissue specificity: Predominantly expressed in neurons of adult and fetal brain. Weakly expressed in the kidney.
