This gene plays a role in protein post-translational modification.

(NEDD8 Gene, NCI Thesaurus)

Four main isoforms exist, including CD56 (ANTIGENS, CD56), but there are many other variants resulting from alternative splicing and post-translational modifications.

This protein is involved in post-translational protein ubiquitination.

(E3 Ubiquitin-Protein Ligase RNF130, NCI Thesaurus)

(MIR376C wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)

This allele, which encodes alpha-1,3-mannosyl-glycoprotein 4-beta-N-acetylglucosaminyltransferase C protein, plays a role in post-translational protein modification.

(MGAT4C wt Allele, NCI Thesaurus)

NCI Thesaurus (NCIt) provides controlled terminology for clinical care, translational and basic research, public dissemination of information and associated administrative activities.

(NCI Thesaurus, NCI Thesaurus)
