About Mefv

Summary

Predicted to enable actin binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and ubiquitin protein Ligase activity. Involved in response to lipopolysaccharide and response to silicon dioxide. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Predicted to be part of microtubule associated complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Henoch-Schoenlein purpura; Sweet syndrome; asthma; familial Mediterranean fever; and hematologic Cancer (multiple). Orthologous to human MEFV (MEFV innate immuity regulator, pyrin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
