Recombinant Human F-box only protein 25 (FBXO25)

Uniprot Id

Q8TCJ0

Target Species

Human

Target Name

FBXO25

Target Full Name

F-box only protein 25

Target Function

Substrate-recognition component of the SCF (SKP1-CUL1-F-box protein)-type E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. May play a role in accumulation of expanded polyglutamine (polyQ) protein huntingtin (HTT).

Target Involvement

A chromosomal aberration involving FBXO25 is a cause of X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). Translocation t(X;8)(p11.22;p23.3) with SHROOM4.

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus. Note=In the nucleus, associates with a subnuclear dot-like structure. Colocalized with SKP1.

Target Tissue Specificity

Expressed in all brain tissue observed.

Target Synonyms

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 Fbxs class. Three alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been found for this gene.
