Summary
Predicted to enable ubiquitin ligase complex scaffold activity and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to contribute to ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including apoptotic process; cell population proliferation; and protein ubiquitination. Part of SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; genitourinary system; immune system; neural retina; and telencephalon. Orthologous to human CUL1 (cullin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
Expression

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
