FBXO31
Description
FBXO31, also known as F-box protein 31, is a gene that encodes a protein involved in a variety of cellular functions, including protein degradation, cell cycle regulation, and DNA damage response. It acts as a substrate recognition component of the SCF (Skp1-Cul1-F-box) ubiquitin ligase complex, targeting specific proteins for ubiquitination and subsequent degradation by the proteasome. This intricate process plays a crucial role in maintaining cellular homeostasis and responding to various stimuli. FBXO31‘s involvement in diverse cellular pathways suggests its potential role in human health and disease.
