gene: wwp-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Enables ubiquitin conjugating enzyme activity. Involved in defense response to bacterium; protein ubiquitination; and regulation of protein catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within determination of adult lifespan. Located in cytoplasm. Expressed in GABAergic neurons; cholinergic neurons; coelomocyte; somatic neurons; and vulval muscle. Is an ortholog of human WWP1 (WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 1) and WWP2 (WW domain containing E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 2).
