Also known as FLJ34154KIAA0614
Summary
HECTD4 (HECT domain E3 ubiquitin protein ligase 4, HGNC:26611) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q24.13, encoding Probable E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase HECTD4 (Q9Y4D8). E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates.
Predicted to enable ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Involved in glucose homeostasis and glucose metabolic process. Predicted to be located in membrane.

Function. E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase which accepts ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates.
Subcellular location. Membrane.
Disease relevance. Neurodevelopmental disorder with seizures, spasticity, and complete or partial agenesis of the corpus callosum (NEDSSCC) [MIM:620250] An autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by global developmental delay, hypotonia, and seizures. Other features include peripheral spasticity with hyperreflexia, variable dysmorphic features, impaired intellectual development, behavioral abnormalities, and hypoplasia or absence of the corpus callosum on brain imaging. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Pathway. Protein modification; protein ubiquitination.

Enriched among interaction partners
Reactome pathways and GO biological processes over-represented among this gene’s 29 IntAct physical interaction partners (hypergeometric vs the genome-wide background, BH-FDR, gene-set size 15–500, ranked by fold). A functional readout of the neighbourhood — distinct from this gene’s own memberships above, and biased toward well-studied / hub proteins, so read it as themes rather than proof.
