CUL5 Gene Summary [Human]

Enables ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process and protein ubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of or within cerebral cortex radially oriented cell migration and radial glia guided migration of Purkinje cell. Located in site of DNA damage. Part of Cul5-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human CUL5 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
