Name

NEDD8 Gene

neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down-regulated 8

Enables ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Acts upstream of or within protein neddylation. Located in cytosol and nucleoplasm. Biomarker of Parkinson's disease and malignant astrocytoma. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Mar 2025]

NEDD8-MDP1 Gene

NEDD8-MDP1 readthrough

This locus represents naturally occurring read-through transcription between the neighboring NEDD8 (neural precursor cell expressed, developmentally down-regulated 8) and MDP1 (magnesium-dependent phosphatase 1) genes on chromosome 14. One of the read-through transcripts on this locus encodes a fusion protein that shares sequence identity with the products of each individual gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]
