Nedd4 family is the largest group of ubiquitin ligases, including 9 members, such as Nedd4-1, Nedd4L (Nedd4-2), WWP1, WWP2, ITCH, etc. They could bind to substrate proteins through their WW domain and play a dominant role in the ubiquitination process, and then participate in various pathophysiological processes of cardiovascular diseases (such as hypertension, myocardial hypertrophy, heart failure, etc.). The gene discussed is WWP1; the disease is cardiac hypertrophy.
