FBXW5 Rabbit Polyclonal Antibody

This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family| members of which are 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 three 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 contains WD-40 domains| in addition to an F-box motif| so it belongs to the Fbw class. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene| however| they were found to be nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) candidates| hence not represented.
