gene: ubxn-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables K48-linked polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity. Involved in masculinization of hermaphroditic germ-line; positive regulation of protein catabolic process; and spermatogenesis. Acts upstream of or within IRE1-mediated unfolded protein response. Located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Expressed in several structures, including gonad and spermatocyte. Is an ortholog of human UBXN1 (UBX domain protein 1).
