RBX1

RBX1 is a protein involved in regulating cellular processes by helping to control the degradation of other proteins. It functions as part of a larger complex called an E3 ubiquitin ligase, which tags unwanted or damaged proteins with a small molecule called ubiquitin. This tagging marks them for destruction by the cell’s "recycling center," the proteasome. RBX1's role is crucial in maintaining healthy cell function, controlling cell growth, and preventing abnormal cell accumulation, which can contribute to diseases like cancer. It is essential for proper protein turnover and cellular regulation.
