ankyrin repeat & SOCS box protein 8; ASB-8 (ASB8)

Function

• may be a substrate-recognition component of an elongin-Cullin-SOCS-box protein (ECS) E3 ligase complex which mediates ubiquitination & subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins (putative)
• protein modification; protein ubiquitination

Structure

• the SOCS box domain mediates the interaction with the elongin BC complex, an adapter module in different E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes (putative)
• contains 4 ANK repeats
• contains 1 SOCS box domain

Compartment

cytoplasm

Expression

• highest expression in skeletal muscle
• also expressed in heart, brain, placenta, liver, kidney & pancreas

More general terms

• Ankyrin repeat & SOCS box protein (ASB)

Additional terms

• Notch/ankyrin repeat
• SOCS box domain

Component of

• ECS complex; elonginB/C-CUL2/5-SOCS-box protein complex; ECS E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex
