UBX Domain Protein 10 (UBXN10)

UBXN10 Contains 1 UBX domain. The UBX domain is found in ubiquitin-regulatory proteins, which are members of the ubiquitination pathway, as well as a number of other proteins including FAF-1 (FAS-associated factor 1), the human Rep-8 reproduction protein and several hypothetical proteins from yeast. The function of the UBX domain is not known although the fragment of avian FAF-1 containing the UBX domain causes apoptosis of transfected cells.The UBX domain is an 80 amino acid residue module that is present typically at the carboxyl terminus of a variety of eukaryotic proteins. UBX domain-containing proteins belong to one of four evolutionarily conserved families represented by the human FAF1, p47, Y33K, and Rep8 proteins. A role of the UBX domain in ubiquitin-related processes is suggested.
