MGRN1
protein-codingmahogunin ring finger 1, the group of MicroRNA protein coding host genes|Ring finger proteins
Gene summary
Enables protein sequestering activity and ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Involved in endosome to lysosome transport; negative regulation of adenylate cyclase-activating G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; and protein monoubiquitination. Located in early endosome; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Is active in cytosol. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2026]

ClinVar Variants & Pathogenicity by Type
Statistics based on transcript NM_015246.4. Only rare variants are included.
We include only reliable ClinVar variants with their consequences to MANE Select, MANE Plus Clinical transcripts, or transcripts with TSL equal to 1. Click a count to filter the variants table below.
Slight differences between displayed counts and ClinVar may occur due to a different transcript/consequence chosen by our variant effect predictor, or because we classify Benign/Likely benign as Likely benign and Pathogenic/Likely pathogenic as Likely pathogenic.

- Function
- FUNCTION: E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase. Mediates monoubiquitination at multiple sites of TSG101 in the presence of UBE2D1, but not of UBE2G1, nor UBE2H. Plays a role in the regulation of endosome-to- lysosome trafficking. Impairs MC1R- and MC4R-signaling by competing with GNAS-binding to MCRs and inhibiting agonist-induced cAMP production. Does not inhibit ADRB2-signaling. Does not promote MC1R ubiquitination. Acts also as a negative regulator of hedgehog signaling (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9D074, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17229889, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19703557, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19737927}.;
