About Atxn3

Summary

Enables thiol-dependent Deubiquitinase and ubiquitin protein Ligase binding activity. Involved in cellular response to misfolded protein and proteolysis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to heat; exploration behavior; and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Located in mitochondrial matrix; mitochondrial membrane; and nuclear inclusion body. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; hemolymphoid system gland; musculature; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Machado-Joseph disease. Orthologous to several human genes including ATXN3 (ataxin 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
