UniProt functional annotation for O14618

UniProt code: O14618.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Delivers copper to copper zinc superoxide dismutase (SOD1).
 
Cofactor: Name=Cu(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29036; Evidence={ECO:0007744|PDB:2RSQ}; Note=Binds 2 copper ions per subunit. {ECO:0007744|PDB:2RSQ};
Cofactor: Name=Zn(2+); Xref=ChEBI:CHEBI:29105; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:10677207}; Note=Binds 1 zinc ion per subunit. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10677207};
Subunit: Homodimer, and heterodimer with SOD1. Interacts with COMMD1. Interacts with XIAP/BIRC4. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10677207, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20154138, ECO:0000269|PubMed:20595380, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22508683, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23625804, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9726962}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:9726962}.
Tissue specificity: Ubiquitous.
Ptm: Ubiquitinion by XIAP/BIRC4 leads to enhancement of its chaperone activity toward its physiologic target, SOD1, rather than proteasomal degradation. XIAP/BIRC4 preferentially ubiquitinates at Lys-241. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20154138}.
Similarity: In the C-terminal section; belongs to the Cu-Zn superoxide dismutase family. {ECO:0000305}.
