FBXO8 (F-Box Protein 8): FBXO8 is a member of the F-box protein family, which plays a key role in the ubiquitin-proteasome system — the body’s way of regulating protein degradation and turnover. FBXO8 functions by helping to identify specific proteins for breakdown, thereby influencing important cellular activities like the cell cycle, signal transduction, and immune response. While its exact targets and roles are still being studied, FBXO8’s involvement in protein degradation points to its significance in maintaining cellular balance and its potential connection to diseases involving protein misfolding or aggregation, such as neurodegenerative disorders.
