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 such as the cell cycle, signal transduction, and immune response. While its exact targets and roles are still under investigation, FBXO8’s involvement in protein degradation highlights its importance in maintaining cellular balance and its potential link to diseases involving protein misfolding or aggregation, such as neurodegenerative disorders.
