Summary
This gene encodes an anti-apoptotic, death receptor-associated protein that interacts with tumor necrosis factor-receptor-1. The encoded protein acts as an adapter in several protein complexes, including the BRCA1-A complex and the BRISC complex. The BRCA1-A complex possesses ubiquitinase activity and targets sites of double strand DNA breaks, while the BRISC complex exhibits deubiquitinase activity and is involved in mitotic spindle assembly. This gene is upregulated in several types of cancer. [provided by RefSeq, Jun 2016]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
