PSMC1

Chr 14AR

proteasome 26S subunit, ATPase 1

Also known as: NEDGTH, P26S4, RPT2, S4, p56

PSMC1 encodes an ATPase subunit of the 26S proteasome, a multiprotein complex that degrades ubiquitinated proteins in an ATP-dependent manner to maintain cellular protein homeostasis. Mutations cause Birk-Aharoni syndrome, though the phenotypic spectrum remains incompletely defined. The condition follows autosomal recessive inheritance.

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.
