Gene: CAND1
Alternate names for this Gene: TIP120|TIP120A
Gene Summary: This gene encodes an essential regulator of Cullin-RING ubiquitin ligases, which are in involved in ubiquitinylation of proteins degraded by the Ub proteasome system. The encoded protein binds to unneddylated cullin-RING box protein complexes and acts as an inhibitor of cullin neddylation and of Skp1, cullin, and F box ubiquitin ligase complex assembly and activity. In mammalian cell culture, this protein predominantly localizes to the cytoplasm. Knockdown of this gene in preadipocytes results in blocked adipogenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 12
Location in Chromosome : 12q14.3-q15
Description of this Gene: cullin associated and neddylation dissociated 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
