Cul1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
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).

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 mouse Cul1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
