Background

UBCE7IP1 might act as an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase, or as part of the E3 complex, which accepts ubiquitin from specific E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzymes, such as UBE2L3/UBCM4, and then transfers it to substrates. It inhibits TNF and IL-1 mediated activation of NF-kappa-B, and promotes TNF and RIP mediated apoptosis. Evidence exists to suggest an interaction with UBE2L3 and RIPK1. Expression is ubiquitous, with the highest levels in testis and peripheral blood leukocytes. Structurally, the protein contains a putative 1 IBR-type zinc finger and 2 RING-type zinc fingers.
