The protein encoded by this gene binds to the beta-amyloid precursor protein. Beta-amyloid precursor protein is a cell surface protein with signal-transducing properties, and it is thought to play a role in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease. In addition, the encoded protein can form a heterodimer with UBE1C and bind and activate NEDD8, a ubiquitin-like protein. This protein is required for cell cycle progression through the S/M checkpoint. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
A study in humans demonstrated that the NAE1 was identified as a high-confidence gene in common between mice and humans within the top 10% of genes related to lifetime alcohol consumption [Farris et al. DOI:10.1038/Mp.2014.159].
