Rabbit anti-Human FBXO32 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q969P5

Target Species

Human

Target Name

FBXO32

Target Full Name

F-box only protein 32

Target Function

Substrate recognition component of a SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Probably recognizes and binds to phosphorylated target proteins during skeletal muscle atrophy. Recognizes TERF1.

Target Involvement

Defects in FBXO32 are associated with susceptibility to dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). A disorder characterized by ventricular and impaired systolic function, resulting in heart failure and arrhythmia. Patient are at risk of premature death.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Note=Shuttles between cytoplasm and the nucleus.

Target Tissue Specificity

Specifically expressed in cardiac and skeletal muscle.

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family which is characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. The F-box proteins constitute one of the four subunits of the ubiquitin protein ligase complex called SCFs (SKP1-cullin-F-box), which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. The F-box proteins are divided into 3 classes: Fbws containing WD-40 domains, Fbls containing leucine-rich repeats, and Fbxs containing either different protein-protein interaction modules or no recognizable motifs. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the Fbxs class and contains an F-box domain. This protein is highly expressed during muscle atrophy, whereas mice deficient in this gene were found to be resistant to atrophy. This protein is thus a potential drug target for the treatment of muscle atrophy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
