Target Species

Human

Target Name

MYLIP

Target Full Name

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase MYLIP

Target Function

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that mediates ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of myosin regulatory light chain (MRLC), LDLR, VLDLR and LRP8. Activity depends on E2 enzymes of the UBE2D family. Proteasomal degradation of MRLC leads to inhibit neurite outgrowth in presence of NGF by counteracting the stabilization of MRLC by saposin-like protein (CNPY2/MSAP) and reducing CNPY2-stimulated neurite outgrowth. Acts as a sterol-dependent inhibitor of cellular cholesterol uptake by mediating ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of LDLR.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein.

Target Tissue Specificity

Ubiquitously expressed.

Target Research Area

Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling

Target Synonyms

BM-023; BZF1; E3 ubiquitin protein ligase MYLIP; E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase MYLIP; Idol; Inducible degrader of the LDL-receptor; Lipoprotein receptor; MIR; MYLIP; MYLIP_HUMAN; Myosin regulatory light chain interacting protein; PP5242

Target Background

The ERM protein family members ezrin, radixin, and moesin are cytoskeletal effector proteins linking actin to membrane-bound proteins at the cell surface. Myosin regulatory light chain interacting protein (MYLIP) is a novel ERM-like protein that interacts with myosin regulatory light chain and inhibits neurite outgrowth.
