background:
FEM1A is a caspase substrate homologous to the C. Elegans sex determining protein, FEM-1. Probable component of an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex, in which it may act as a substrate recognition subunit. May participate in antiinflammatory signaling via its interaction with PTGER4. Overexpression of FEM1A in mammalian cells is reported to induce apoptosis.
Function:
Probable component of an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex, in which it may act as a substrate recognition subunit. May participate in antiinflammatory signaling via its interaction with PTGER4.
Subunit:
Component of some E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex. Interacts with PTGER4.
Subcellular Location:
Cytoplasm (Probable).
Tissue Specificity:
Present in macrophages derived from peripheral blood monocytes. Also present in atheromata (at protein level).
Similarity:
Belongs to the fem-1 family.
Contains 9 ANK repeats.
Contains 2 TPR repeats.
