MeSH definition : A highly-conserved AAA ATPase that functions in the biogenesis of the transitional
ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM and fragmentation and reassembly of the GOLGI APPARATUS during
MITOSIS. It also functions in a complex with UFD1L and NPLOC4 proteins to export misfolded
ubiquitinated proteins from the endoplasmic reticulum and outer mitochondrial membrane
to the cytoplasm for degradation by the PROTEASOME and also plays a role in AUTOPHAGY
of ubiquitinated proteins. It occurs in neuronal INCLUSION BODIES from patients with
AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS and LEWY BODIES from PARKINSON DISEASE patients.;
