Summary
Enables disordered domain specific binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in cellular protein metabolic process; cellular response to oxidative stress; and regulation of autophagy. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to interleukin-4; in utero embryonic development; and regulation of epidermal cell differentiation. Located in actin filament; endoplasmic reticulum; and inclusion body. Part of Cul3-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in eye and limb mesenchyme. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gallbladder cancer. Orthologous to human KEAP1 (kelch like ECH associated protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
