Anti-Cullin-7, CT (CUL-7)

Protein function: Component of a probable SCF-like E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex, which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Probably plays a role in the degradation of proteins involved in endothelial proliferation and/or differentiation. Seems not to promote polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of TP53. In vitro, complexes of CUL7 with either CUL9 or FBXW8 or TP53 contain E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity. [The UniProt Consortium]
