Spsb2

This gene encodes a member of the SSB family of proteins that contain a central SPRY (repeats in splA and ryanodine receptors) domain and a C-terminal SOCS (suppressor of cytokine signaling) box. The encoded protein is an adaptor protein in the E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that ubiquitinates inducible nitric oxide synthase and targets it for proteasomal degradation. Mice lacking the encoded protein exhibit lower blood urea nitrogen levels and mild thrombocytopenia due to reduced platelet production. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2015]

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 Spsb2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
