HECT and RLD Domain Containing E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase 5 (HERC5)

<div class="infobox infobox-gene">
<div class="infobox-header">HECT and RLD Domain Containing E3 Ubiquitin Protein Ligase 5</div>

Overview

HERC5 is a human gene encoding a HECT domain E3 ubiquitin ligase that primarily catalyzes ISG15 conjugation (ISGylation), a ubiquitin-like modification. ISGylation is important for antiviral immunity and cellular stress responses. HERC5-mediated ISGylation regulates various cellular processes including protein translation, [autophagy](/entities/autophagy), and neuroinflammation. This page covers the gene's normal function, disease associations, expression patterns, and key research findings relevant to neurodegeneration.
