DZIP3 Products

The DZIP3 gene codes a E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase DZIP3 protein that in one isoform is 1,208 amino acids long and 138 kDA and in the other is 303 amino acids long at 35 kDA. These proteins are able to specifically bind RNA as well as control ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of target proteins by receiving ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme (in the form of a thioester) then transfers the material to targeted substrates. DZIP3 is active in adaptive immune system, protein modification, and antigen processing (specifically ubiquitination and proteasome degradation as described above). DZIP3 has been researched in various diseases such as azoospermia and ataxia.
