Cullin 7 Polyclonal Antibody, Cy5 Conjugated

Component of a probable SCF-like E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex, which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Probably plays a role in the degradation of proteins involved in endothelial proliferation and/or differentiation (By similarity) . Seems not to promote polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of TP53. In vitro, complexes of CUL7 with either CUL9 or FBXW8 or TP53 contain E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity.Involvement in disease: Defects in CUL7 are the cause of 3M syndrome type 1 (3M1) . An autosomal recessive disorder characterized by severe pre- and postnatal growth retardation, facial dysmorphism, large head circumference, and normal intelligence and endocrine function. Skeletal changes include long slender tubular bones and tall vertebral bodies.
