Disease relevance of UFD1L

  • Although the UFD1L gene has been mapped in the region commonly deleted in patients with DiGeorge syndrome (DGS)/velocardiofacial syndrome (VCFS), correlation between its haploinsufficiency and the phenotype has not yet been established [1].
  • Our data suggest that, although the UFD1L gene is mapped to 22q11 and is expressed during early murine development at both cardiac and cranial neural crests, it is not responsible for the majority of tetralogy of Fallot cases in humans [2].
 

High impact information on UFD1L

 

Biological context of UFD1L

 

Anatomical context of UFD1L

 

Physical interactions of UFD1L

  • We show that Ufd1 directly interacts with gp78 and functions as a cofactor [13].
 

Other interactions of UFD1L

  • The deletion of exon 2 of the UFD1L gene and TUPLE1 gene was identified in 13 patients (13/14 cases; 93%) [14].
  • UFD1L (Ubiquitin Fusion Degradation 1 Like) gene encodes for a component of a multi-complex involved in the degradation of ubiquitin fusion proteins [8].
  • The ESTs mapped using the 7000 rad IMpRH panel (Hawken et al., 1999) were ubiquitin fusion-degradation 1 like protein (UFD1L), ubiquitin activating enzyme E1 and ubiquitin-S27a fusion protein which mapped to porcine chromosomes 14, 7 and X, respectively [15].
