Description
Product Characteristics:
FBXO36 is a 188 amino acid protein that contains one forty amino acid F-box region, making it a member of the F-box family. F-box proteins are critical components of the SCF (Skp1-CUL-1-F-box protein) type E3 ubiquitin ligase complex and are involved in substrate recognition and recruitment for ubiquitination. F-box proteins are members of a large family that regulates cell cycle, immune response, signaling cascades and developmental programs by targeting proteins, such as cyclins, cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors, IkB-å, and -catenin, for degradation by the proteasome after ubiquitination. Functioning as a component of the SCF complex, FBXO36 is thought to recognize and bind to select phosphorylated proteins, thereby promoting their ubiquitination and subsequent degradation.

Synonyms: F box only protein 36, F box protein 36, F-box only protein 36, Fbx 36, Fbx36, FBX36_HUMAN, FBXO 36, Fbxo36, FLJ37592, FLJ41090.
Target Information: Members of the F-box protein family, such as FBXO36, are characterized by an approximately 40-amino acid F-box motif. SCF complexes, formed by SKP1 (MIM 601434), cullin (see CUL1\, MIM 603134), and F-box proteins, act as protein-ubiquitin ligases. F-box proteins interact with SKP1 through the F box, and they interact with ubiquitination targets through other protein interaction domains (Jin et al., 2004 [PubMed 15520277]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
