Rabbit anti-Human FBXL5 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q9UKA1

Target Species

Human

Target Name

FBXL5

Target Full Name

F-box/LRR-repeat protein 5

Target Function

Component of some SCF (SKP1-cullin-F-box) protein ligase complex that plays a central role in iron homeostasis by promoting the ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of IREB2/IRP2. Upon high iron and oxygen level, it specifically recognizes and binds IREB2/IRP2, promoting its ubiquitination and degradation by the proteasome. Promotes ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of DCTN1/p150-glued.

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm, perinuclear region.

Target Synonyms

F box and leucine rich repeat protein 5; F box protein FBL5; F box/LRR repeat protein 5; F-box and leucine-rich repeat protein 5; F-box protein FBL4/FBL5; F-box/LRR-repeat protein 5; FBL4 ; FBL5; FBXL5; FBXL5_HUMAN; FLR1; p45SKP2 like protein ; p45SKP2-like protein

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 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 Fbls class and, in addition to an F-box, contains several tandem leucine-rich repeats. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this locus.
