It exhibits a molecular mass of approximately 20.8 kDa. UFC1 is expressed in a variety of tissues including liver kidney and heart indicating its widespread role in cellular processes. As an essential component in the UFM1 system UFC1 works closely with other proteins to regulate protein modification through UFMylation.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nUFC1 is involved in the process of UFMylation which modifies proteins through the attachment of UFM1 much like ubiquitination influences protein degradation and signaling. UFC1 forms part of a complex that also includes UBA5 and UFL1 the E1 activating enzyme and E3 ligase respectively. This UFMylation system is necessary for endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation (ERAD) contributing to the maintenance of protein homeostasis within cells. The disruption of this modification process can impact cellular stress response and protein quality control mechanisms.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nUFC1 plays a critical role in the ER stress response and protein quality control pathways. Within these pathways UFC1 interacts with proteins such as UFM1 and UFL1 to mediate the UFMylation of target proteins during cellular stress. Additionally UFC1 has been linked to pathways regulating autophagy where it indirectly influences the degradation of defective proteins. This interaction ultimately affects the cellular response to misfolded proteins and is pivotal for maintaining cellular equilibrium.\u003cbr\u003e\nUFC1 has implications in conditions such as cancer and neurological disorders. Abnormalities in UFMylation can contribute to the dysregulation of protein homeostasis which is frequently observed in cancerous cells. In the context of neurological disorders the dysfunctional UFM1 system involving UFC1 can result in impaired neuronal homeostasis. Additionally UFC1's relationship with proteins like UFM1 and UFL1 highlights its importance in the pathological processes of these diseases positioning it as a potential target for therapeutic intervention.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845079093417,"sku":"ab266814","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/es\/products\/abcam-ab266814","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
