Tissue Expression
Detected in heart, placenta, pancreas, kidney, liver, skeletal muscle, bone marrow, fetal brain, and at much lower levels in adult brain and lung. Isoform 1 and isoform 5 predominate in all tissues tested, except in testis and bone marrow, where isoform 5 is expressed at much higher levels than isoform 1.

Function
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates. Ubiquitinates ERBB4 isoforms JM-A CYT-1 and JM-B CYT-1, KLF2, KLF5 and TP63 and promotes their proteasomal degradation. Ubiquitinates RNF11 without targeting it for degradation. Ubiquitinates and promotes degradation of TGFBR1; the ubiquitination is enhanced by SMAD7. Ubiquitinates SMAD6 and SMAD7. Ubiquitinates and promotes degradation of SMAD2 in response to TGF-beta signaling, which requires interaction with TGIF.
