C3orf16 Inhibitors

Ankyrin repeat and ubiquitin domain-containing 1 (ANKUB1) is a protein encoded by the ANKUB1 gene in humans. This protein is characterized by the presence of two distinct domains: an ankyrin repeat domain and a ubiquitin domain. The ankyrin repeat is a 33-amino acid motif commonly involved in protein-protein interactions, and these repeats are often found in proteins that play roles in various cellular processes including signaling, cell cycle control, and transcriptional regulation. The ubiquitin domain signifies the potential involvement of ANKUB1 in ubiquitination, a post-translational modification process where ubiquitin, a small regulatory protein, is attached to substrate proteins, often targeting them for degradation by the proteasome, altering their cellular location, affecting their activity, or promoting or preventing protein interactions.

The specific functions of ANKUB1 are not as well-characterized as some other proteins, but based on its structural domains, it is likely involved in the regulation of protein turnover and may serve as an adapter or scaffold protein that brings other proteins together to form functional complexes. Its ankyrin repeats suggest that it has the capacity for protein binding, potentially influencing the stability, localization, or activity of its interaction partners.
