Anaphase-promoting complex subunit 8

UniProtKB accession:  O94556

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Component of the anaphase-promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a cell cycle-regulated E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex that controls progression through mitosis and the G1 phase of the cell cycle. The APC/C is thought to confer substrate specificity and, in the presence of ubiquitin-conjugating E2 enzymes, it catalyzes the formation of protein-ubiquitin conjugates that are subsequently degraded by the 26S proteasome. Has a role in promoting metaphase to anaphase transition via the ubiquitination of specific mitotic substrates.
