Facts about Ubiquilin-1.
Plays a role in the ERAD pathway through its interaction with ER-localized proteins UBXN4, VCP and HERPUD1 and might form a link between the polyubiquitinated ERAD substrates and the proteasome (PubMed:19822669, PubMed:18307982). Isoform 1, isoform 2 and isoform 3 play a role in unfolded protein response (UPR) by attenuating the induction of UPR-inducible genes, DDTI3/CHOP, HSPA5 and PDIA2 during ER stress (PubMed:18953672).

Brain (at protein level) (PubMed:18953672). Ubiquitous. Highly expressed throughout the brain; detected in neurons and in neuropathological lesions, such as neurofibrillary tangles and Lewy bodies. Highly expressed in heart, placenta, pancreas, lung, liver, skeletal muscle and kidney.
Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Endoplasmic reticulum. Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome. Cell membrane. Detected in neuronal processes and at synapses (By similarity). Recruited to the ER during ER-associated protein degradation (ERAD) (PubMed:19822669). Isoform 1 and isoform 3 colocalize with PSEN1 in the cell membrane and in cytoplasmic juxtanuclear structures called aggresomes (PubMed:21143716). Colocalizes with ORAI1 and TICAM1 in the autophagosome (PubMed:23307288, PubMed:21695056). Colocalizes with EPS15 and HGS in ubiquitin-rich cytoplasmic aggregates that are not endocytic compartments and with
