Predicted to enable protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in protein ubiquitination. Located in cytosol; nuclear body; and nuclear matrix. Part of Cul4-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex.
RGD Description
This gene encodes a protein with multiple WD40 repeats which facilitate protein-protein interactions and thereby enable the assembly of multiprotein complexes. This protein has been shown to function as a scaffold protein for protein complexes involved in kinase signaling. This highly conserved gene is present in eukaryotic plants, fungi, and animals. The ortholog of this gene was first identified in plants as a key regulator of anthocyanin biosynthesis and flower pigmentation. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
