背景信息:
SPFH2 is a ubiquitously expressed 339 amino acid protein that belongs to the band 7/mec-2 family. Localized to lipid raft-like domains in the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER), SPFH2 plays a crucial role in the ER-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway that removes metabolically regulated and aberrant proteins from the ER. Specifically, SPFH2 associates with IP3R-I (Inositol 1,4,5-triphosphate receptor I), a substrate of the ERAD pathway, and facilitates its polyubiquitination and subsequent degradation. Three isoforms of SPFH2 are expressed due to alternative splicing events.
