| ncRNA Symbol: | NBR1 | | Full Name: | NBR1, autophagy cargo receptor | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | 1A1-3B|IAI3B|M17S2|MIG19 | | Chromosome: | chr17 | | Strand: | + | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 43170481 | End Site(bp): | 43211689 | | | Gene Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene was originally identified as an ovarian tumor antigen monitored in ovarian cancer. The encoded protein contains a B-box/coiled-coil motif, which is present in many genes with transformation potential. It functions as a specific autophagy receptor for the selective autophagic degradation of peroxisomes by forming intracellular inclusions with ubiquitylated autophagic substrates. This gene is located on a region of chromosome 17q21.1 that is in close proximity to the BRCA1 tumor suppressor gene. Alternative splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
