Gene Gene information from NCBI Gene database.
Entrez ID 55075
Gene name Uveal autoantigen with coiled-coil domains and ankyrin repeats
Gene symbol UACA
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
NUCLING
Chromosome 15
Chromosome location 15q23
Summary This gene encodes a protein that contains ankyrin repeats and coiled coil domains and likely plays a role in apoptosis. Studies in rodents have implicated the encoded protein in the stimulation of apoptosis and the regulation of mammary gland involution,

Protein name Uveal autoantigen with coiled-coil domains and ankyrin repeats
Protein function Regulates APAF1 expression and plays an important role in the regulation of stress-induced apoptosis. Promotes apoptosis by regulating three pathways, apoptosome up-regulation, LGALS3/galectin-3 down-regulation and NF-kappa-B inactivation. Regul
