Function | Substrate-recognition component of a Cul2-RING (CRL2) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex of the DesCEND (destruction via C-end degrons) pathway, which recognizes a C-degron located at the extreme C terminus of target proteins, leading to their ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:29779948, PubMed:33398168, PubMed:33398170). The C- degron recognized by the DesCEND pathway is usually a motif of less than ten residues and can be present in full-length proteins, truncated proteins or proteolytically cleaved forms (PubMed:29779948, PubMed:33398168, PubMed:33398170). The CRL2(FEM1A) complex specifically recognizes proteins with an arginine at the C-terminus: recognizes and binds proteins ending with -Lys/Arg-Xaa-Arg and -Lys/Arg-Xaa-Xaa-Arg C- degrons, such as SIL1 or OR51B2, leading to their ubiquitination and degradation (PubMed:33398168, PubMed:33398170). Promotes ubiquitination and degradation of SLBP (PubMed:28118078). Involved in PGE2-EP4- mediated inhibition of inflammation of macrophages via interaction with NFKB1 and PTGER4 (By similarity). Promotes inflammation in brain microglia through MAP2K4/MKK4-mediated signaling (By similarity). |

Tissue Location | Present in macrophages derived from peripheral blood monocytes. Also present in atheromata (at protein level) |
