== Function ==

This gene encodes a protein that may be involved in the degradation of G proteins via the ubiquitin-dependent proteasome pathway. The encoded protein binds to members of subfamily A of the regulator of the G-protein signaling (RGS) family through an N-terminal leucine-rich region. This protein also has a central RING finger-like domain and E3 ubiquitin ligase activity. This protein is highly conserved from flies to humans. Defects in this gene may cause the autosomal recessive, infantile malignant form of osteopetrosis.<ref name="entrez" /> This is also known as autosomal recessive Albers-Schonberg disease.<ref name="pmid12627228" /><ref name="pmid16813530">{{cite journal | vauthors = Pangrazio A, Poliani PL, Megarbane A, Lefranc G, Lanino E, Di Rocco M, Rucci F, Lucchini F, Ravanini M, Facchetti F, Abinun M, Vezzoni P, Villa A, Frattini A | title = Mutations in OSTM1 (grey lethal) define a particularly severe form of autosomal recessive osteopetrosis with neural involvement | journal = J.
