Ubiquitin-Associated Protein 1; UBAP-1; Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma-Associated Gene 20 Protein; UBAP1
Background
Ubiquitin-Associated Protein 1 (UBAP1) belongs to the UBA domain family. Members of this family are related to ubiquitin and the ubiquitination pathway. Because of their cytogenetic location, this UBA domain family member is being studied as a putative target for mutation in nasopharyngeal carcinomas. UBAP1 is highly expressed in the heart, brain, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, liver, and pancreas. UBAP1 consists of two UBA domains and one UMA domain. The ubiquitin associated domain is throught to be a non-covalent ubiquitin binding domain, including a compact three helix bundle.
