Exons	22
Pathways	Apoptosis, Immune Response, Innate Immunity, Mtor, Nf-Κb
Ensembl ID	ENSG00000138617
GeneCards	HERC5
Human Protein Atlas	HERC5
N-terminal RCC1-like domain (RLD)	Contains multiple RCC1 repeats that function as guanine nucleotide exchange factors for small GTPases
HECT domain	The catalytic E3 ubiquitin ligase domain at the C-terminus (~350 amino acids)
Multiple WD40 repeats	Involved in protein-protein interactions
Flexible linker regions	Connect the various domains
