Function |
May play a role in the establishment and maintenance of neuronal transmission and plasticity via its ubiquitin ligase activity. E3 ubiquitin ligases accept ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfer the ubiquitin to targeted substrates. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14561866}.

Subcellular Location |
Endosome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14561866}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14561866}. Lysosome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14561866}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14561866}. Cell junction, synapse, presynaptic cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14561866}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14561866}. Note=Present in presynaptic plasma membranes in neurons.

Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in the brain, with higher expression during development than in adult. Expressed also in mammary glands, testis, colon and kidney. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14561866}.
