| Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitous. Highest expression in liver. |
| Post Translational Modifications | In response to mitochondrial stress, the precursor protein is ubiquitinated by the SIFI complex in the cytoplasm before mitochondrial import, leading to its degradation. Within the SIFI complex, UBR4 initiates ubiquitin chain that are further elongated or branched by KCMF1. |
| Function | Protein involved in mitophagy by facilitating recruitment of the autophagy machinery required for clearance of damaged mitochondria. Accumulates on the mitochondria surface in response to mitochondrial depolarization and acts as a 'eat me' signal by recruiting proteins involved in selective autophagy, such as autophagy receptors (CALCOCO2/NDP52, NBR1, SQSTM1/p62, TAX1BP1 and WDFY3/ALFY) and ATG8 family proteins (MAP1LC3A, MAP1LC3B, MAP1LC3C, GABARAP, GABARAPL1 and GABARAPL2). |
