Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Substrate-recognition component of the SCF(FBXL21) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex involved in circadian rhythm function. Plays a key role in the maintenance of both the speed and the robustness of the circadian clock oscillation. The SCF(FBXL21) complex mainly acts in the cytosol and mediates ubiquitination of CRY proteins (CRY1 and CRY2), leading to CRY proteins stabilization. The SCF(FBXL21) complex counteracts the activity of the SCF(FBXL3) complex and protects CRY proteins from degradation. Involved in the hypothalamic suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN) clock regulating temporal organization of the daily activities. {ECO:0000269PubMed:18953409, ECO:0000269PubMed:23452855, ECO:0000269PubMed:23452856}.
Subcellular Localization Cytoplasm, cytosol. Nucleus. Note=Mainly localizes in the cytosol. Present at low level in the nucleus.
Disease Associations
Tissue Specificity Expressed in the hypothalamus, especially in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN). Expression is driven by the core-clock. There is a pronounced diurnal and circadian expression rhythms rising rapidly at the start of the day and declining at the onset of the night. {ECO:0000269PubMed:18953409}.
