This 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 Fbxs class. It contains a C-terminal amino acid
sequence that bears a significant similarity with a portion of
yeast Sec7p, a critical regulator of vesicular protein transport.
This human protein may interact with ADP-ribosylation
factor(s)(ARFs) and exhibit ARF-GEF (guanine nucleotide exchange
factor) activity.1) Cronin, S., et al. Eur. J. Hum. Genet. 17(2):213-218(2009)
