ASB10

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ankyrin repeat and SOCS box-containing (ASB) family of proteins. The SOCS box serves to couple suppressor of cytokine signaling (SOCS) proteins and their binding partners with the elongin B and C complex, possibly targeting them for degradation. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]

Full Name

ankyrin repeat and SOCS box-containing 10

Function

May be a substrate-recognition component of a SCF-like ECS (Elongin-Cullin-SOCS-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins.

Cellular Location

Nucleus; Cytoplasm. In the ciliary body, it is detected in the cytoplasm and perinuclear region of the pigmented ciliary epithelial layer. In the retina, it is detected in the nuclei of retinal ganglion cells.

Involvement in disease

Glaucoma 1, open angle, F (GLC1F): A form of primary open angle glaucoma (POAG). POAG is characterized by a specific pattern of optic nerve and visual field defects. The angle of the anterior chamber of the eye is open, and usually the intraocular pressure is increased. However, glaucoma can occur at any intraocular pressure. The disease is generally asymptomatic until the late stages, by which time significant and irreversible optic nerve damage has already taken place.
