The nuclear envelope is a membrane system which surrounds the nucleoplasm of eukaryotic cells. It is composed of the nuclear lamina, nuclear pore complexes and two nuclear membranes. The space between the two membranes is called the nuclear intermembrane space.
The inner membrane of the nucleus is the membrane which separates the nuclear matrix from the intermembrane space. In mammals, the inner nuclear membrane is associated with heterochromatin and the nuclear lamina.
The membrane surrounding the nucleus. This term is used when it is not known if the protein is found in or associated with the inner or outer nuclear membrane.
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that regulates cell proliferation (PubMed:18794910, PubMed:23378536, PubMed:30595371). Involved in apoptosis regulation (PubMed:23378536, PubMed:30595371). Mediates ER stress-induced activation of JNK signaling pathway and apoptosis by promoting ERN1 activation and splicing of XBP1 mRNA (PubMed:23378536, PubMed:30595371). Also involved in protein trafficking and localization (PubMed:24387786). {Experimental EvidencePubMed:18794910, Experimental EvidencePubMed:23378536, Experimental EvidencePubMed:24387786, Experimental EvidencePubMed:30595371}.
Developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 73 (DEE73) [MIM:618379]: A form of epileptic encephalopathy, a heterogeneous group of severe early-onset epilepsies characterized by refractory seizures, neurodevelopmental impairment, and poor prognosis. Development is normal prior to seizure onset, after which cognitive and motor delays become apparent. DEE73 is an autosomal dominant form with onset at birth. {Experimental EvidencePubMed:30595371}. Note=The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
