Background

EDD is a progestin-induced protein, which belongs to the HECT (homology to E6-AP carboxyl terminus) family. The HECT family proteins function as E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases, targeting specific proteins for ubiquitin-mediated proteolysis. This gene is localized to chromosome 8q22, a locus disrupted in a variety of cancers. This gene potentially has a role in regulation of cell proliferation or differentiation.
