This gene encodes a member of the F-box protein family, which is characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box. F-box proteins constitute one of the four subunits of the SCF ubiquitin protein ligase complex that plays a role in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination. F-box proteins are divided into three classes depending on the interaction substrate domain each contains in addition to the F-box motif: FBXW proteins contain WD-40 domains, FBXL proteins contain leucine-rich repeats, and FBXO proteins contain either different protein-protein interaction modules or no recognizable motifs. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the FBXO class.
