UBXN7

Chr 3

UBX domain protein 7

Also known as: UBXD7

Enables RNA polymerase II-specific DNA-binding transcription factor binding activity; ubiquitin binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Located in nucleoplasm. Part of VCP-NPL4-UFD1 AAA ATPase complex.

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.
