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 mechanism for regulating protein degradation and turnover. FBXO8 functions by aiding in the identification of specific proteins for breakdown, thus influencing crucial cellular processes such as the cell cycle, signal transduction, and immune response. Although its precise targets and functions are still under investigation, FBXO8’s role in protein degradation underscores its importance in maintaining cellular homeostasis and its potential link to diseases involving protein misfolding or aggregation, including neurodegenerative disorders.
