Ecm29 proteasome adaptor and scaffold

Also known as: ECM29, KIAA0368

This protein functions as an adapter that couples the 26S proteasome to various cellular compartments including the endoplasmic reticulum and centrosome, facilitating protein degradation through the ERAD pathway. The gene is extremely intolerant to loss-of-function variants (pLI ~1.0, LOEUF 0.198), but disease associations have not yet been established in humans. Given its essential role in cellular protein quality control and high constraint metrics, pathogenic variants would likely cause severe developmental disorders.

Population Constraint (gnomAD)
Highly constrained gene — heterozygous loss-of-function variants are very rare in the population (pLI 1.00). One damaged copy is likely sufficient to cause disease.
