AGBL4
Description
The AGBL4 gene encodes a protein known as AGBL4, a key component of the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). This system plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis by degrading misfolded or damaged proteins. AGBL4 acts as a ubiquitin ligase, attaching ubiquitin tags to target proteins, marking them for degradation by the proteasome. Mutations in AGBL4 have been linked to various diseases, highlighting its critical role in cellular function.
