NPL4/YBR170C Protein Information Help

Standard Name Npl4p 1
Systematic Name Ybr170cp
Alias Hrd4p
ORF Classification Verified
Description Substrate-recruiting cofactor of the Cdc48p-Npl4p-Ufd1p segregase; assists Cdc48p in the dislocation of misfolded, polyubiquitinated ERAD substrates that are subsequently delivered to the proteasome for degradation; also involved in the regulated destruction of resident ER membrane proteins, such as HMG-CoA reductase (Hmg1/2p) and cytoplasmic proteins (Fbp1p); role in mobilizing membrane bound transcription factors by regulated ubiquitin/proteasome-dependent processing (RUP) (2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7)
Name Description Nuclear Protein Localization 1

Molecules/cell 1050 8
Predicted Sequence Formatted Sequence or sequence in FASTA format
Length (a.a.) 580
Molecular Weight (Da) 65,782
