Ufl1 - UFM1 specific ligase 1

Predicted to enable UFM1 ligase activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in hemopoiesis; positive regulation of autophagy; and response to endoplasmic reticulum stress. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of glial cell proliferation; regulation of gene expression; and response to L-glutamate. Located in cytoplasm and neuron projection. Is expressed in cerebellum; cerebral cortex; and liver. Orthologous to human UFL1 (UFM1 specific ligase 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
