ID:GAN_MOUSE DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Gigaxonin; FUNCTION: Probable cytoskeletal component that directly or indirectly plays an important role in neurofilament architecture. Substrate-specific adapter of an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Controls degradation of TBCB (By similarity). Controls degradation of MAP1B and MAP1S, and is critical for neuronal maintenance and survival. PATHWAY: Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. SUBUNIT: Interacts with TBCB. Interacts with CUL3. Part of a complex that contains CUL3, RBX1 and GAN. Interacts (via BTB domain) with UBA1 (By similarity). Interacts (via Kelch domains) with MAP1B (via C-terminus) and MAP1S (via C-terminus). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in brain, heart and muscle (at protein level). PTM: Ubiquitinated and probably targeted for proteasome- independent degradation (By similarity). DISRUPTION PHENOTYPE: Mice have a relatively normal life span. However, they display deterioration in motor function with onset varying from 6 to 10 months as well as abnormalities in non- neuronal tissues. The prominent pathological features include limb weakness, muscular atrophy, axonal degeneration, neurofilament accumulation, an abnormal microtubule network, mitochondrial swelling and thinned myelin sheaths. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 BACK (BTB/Kelch associated) domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 BTB (POZ) domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 6 Kelch repeats.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
