The 26S proteasome is a multicatalytic proteinase complex with a highly ordered structure composed of 2 complexes，a 20S core and a 19S regulator. The 20S core is composed of 4 rings of 28 non-identical subunits;2 rings are composed of 7 alpha subunits and 2 rings are composed of 7 beta subunits. The 19S regulator is composed of a base，which contains 6 ATPase subunits and 2 non-ATPase subunits，and a lid，which contains up to 10 non-ATPase subunits. Proteasomes are distributed throughout eukaryotic cells at a high concentration and cleave peptides in an ATP/ubiquitin-dependent process in a non-lysosomal pathway. This gene encodes a member of the triple-A family of ATPases that is a component of the 19S regulatory subunit and plays a role in 26S proteasome assembly. The encoded protein interacts with gankyrin，a liver oncoprotein，and may also play a role in Parkinson’s disease through interactions with synphilin-1. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observe
