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.1) Davila, S., et al. Genes Immun. 11(3):232-238(2010)
