| Function |
Proposed to enhance ubiquitin ligase activity of RING- type zinc finger-containing E3 ubiquitin-protein ligases. In vitro enhances ubiquitin ligase activity of TRIM28 and stimulates p53/TP53 ubiquitination in presence of Ubl-conjugating enzyme UBE2H leading to p53/TP53 degradation. Proposed to act through recruitment and/or stabilization of the Ubl-conjugating enzymes (E2) at the E3:substrate complex. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20864041}.

| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12920247}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12920247}. Note=Nuclear in germ cells. Cytoplasmic in well-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma, nuclear in moderately- and poorly-differentiated hepatocellular carcinoma.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Not expressed in normal tissues, except in germ cells in the seminiferous tubules and in Purkinje cells of the cerebellum. Expressed in various tumors, including melanoma, lymphoma, as well as pancreatic cancer, mammary gland cancer, non- small cell lung cancer and liver cancer. In hepatocellular carcinoma, there is a inverse correlation between tumor differentiation and protein expression, i.e. the lower the differentiation, the higher percentage of expression. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12097419, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12920247}.
