FBXW5: Proteins and Enzymes

The FBXW5 gene encodes a F-box/WD repeat-containing protein 5 that exists in two isoforms. Isoform 1 is 556 amino acids long, at nearly 64 kDA while isoform 2 is 377 amino acids long at 42 kDA. This protein encoded by this gene functions in substrate recognition of SCF as well as DCX E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes. It may also work as a negative regulator of MAP3K7/TAK1 signaling in the interleukin-1B signaling pathway. FBXW5 participates in protein chaperonin-mediated protein folding and metabolism as well as the association of TriC/CCT with target proteins during biosynthesis. It is known to interact with genes CUL1, MDFI, SKP1, KRTAP4-12, and UBE2R2. FBXW5 is associated with tuberous sclerosis as well as hepatitis b.
