Function

[VMS1_YEAST] Involved in the endoplasmic reticulum (ER)-associated degradation (ERAD) pathway. Component of an evolutionarily conserved system for ubiquitin-mediated mitochondria-associated protein degradation (MAD), which is necessary to maintain mitochondrial, cellular, and organismal viability.^{[1] [2]}
