About UCKL1

Cytogenetic location: 20q13.33 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 20:63,939,829-63,956,416 (from NCBI)

This gene has 7 transcripts (splice variants), 258 orthologues and 3 paralogues. Ubiquitous expression in spleen (RPKM 6.2), ovary (RPKM 4.9) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a uridine kinase. Uridine kinases catalyze the phosphorylation of uridine to uridine monophosphate. This protein has been shown to bind to Epstein-Barr nuclear antigen 3 as well as natural killer lytic-associated molecule. Ubiquitination of this protein is enhanced by the presence of natural killer lytic-associated molecule. In addition, protein levels decrease in the presence of natural killer lytic-associated molecule, suggesting that association with natural killer lytic-associated molecule results in ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of this protein. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2014]
