UBXN11 (UBX domain protein 11) encodes a protein with a divergent C-terminal UBX domain. The homologous protein in the rat interacts with members of the Rnd subfamily of Rho GTPases at the cell periphery through its C-terminal region. It also interacts with several heterotrimeric G proteins through their G-alpha subunits and promotes Rho GTPase activation. It is proposed to serve a bidirectional role in the promotion and inhibition of Rho activity through upstream signaling pathways. The 3' coding sequence of UBXN11 contains a polymoprhic region of 24 nt tandem repeats. Several transcripts containing between 1. and five repeat units have been reported. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for UBXN11.
