Anti-FEM1A antibody

Target data

Substrate-recognition component of a Cul2-RING (CRL2) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex of the DesCEND (destruction via C-end degrons) pathway, which recognizes a C-degron located at the extreme C terminus of target proteins, leading to their ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed : 29779948, PubMed : 33398168, PubMed : 33398170). The C-degron recognized by the DesCEND pathway is usually a motif of less than ten residues and can be present in full-length proteins, truncated proteins or proteolytically cleaved forms (PubMed : 29779948, PubMed : 33398168, PubMed : 33398170). The CRL2(FEM1A) complex specifically recognizes proteins with an arginine at the C-terminus : recognizes and binds proteins ending with -Lys/Arg-Xaa-Arg and -Lys/Arg-Xaa-Xaa-Arg C-degrons, such as SIL1 or OR51B2, leading to their ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed : 33398168, PubMed : 33398170). Promotes ubiquitination and degradation of SLBP (PubMed : 28118078). Involved in PGE2-EP4-mediated inhibition of inflammation of macrophages via interaction with NFKB1 and PTGER4 (By similarity). Promotes inflammation in brain microglia through MAP2K4/MKK4-mediated signaling (By similarity).
