Gene information for FBXL8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID55336
Official gene symbolFBXL8
Full nameF-box and leucine-rich repeat protein 8
Aliases,FBL8,FLJ11278,MGC19959,
Gene summaryThis 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 Fbls class. It shares 78% sequence identity with the mouse protein. [provided by RefSeq]
