About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for CRBN: This gene encodes a protein related to the Lon protease protein family. In rodents and other mammals this gene productis found in the cytoplasm localized with a calcium channel membrane protein, and is thought to play a role in braindevelopment. Mutations in this gene are associated with autosomal recessive nonsyndromic mental retardation. Multipletranscript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. (provided by RefSeq) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CRBN_HUMAN, Q96SW2Function: Component of some DCX (DDB1-CUL4-X-box) E3 protein ligase complex, a complex that mediates the ubiquitinationand subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins and is required for limb outgrowth and expression of thefibroblast growth factor FGF8. In the complex, may act as a substrate receptor. Regulates the assembly and neuronalsurface expression of large-conductance calcium-activated potassium channels in brain regions involved in memory andlearning via its interaction with KCNT1

About This Section
| UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: CRBN_HUMAN, Q96SW2 (See
protein sequence)Recommended Name: Protein cereblon Size: 442 amino acids; 50546 Da
Subunit: Interacts with KCNT1 (By similarity). Component of a DCX (DDB1-CUL4-X-box) protein ligase complex, at leastcomposed of CRBN, CUL4A, DDB1 and RBX1
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm. Nucleus. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein (By similarity)
Miscellaneous: Specifically binds thalidomide, a drug widely prescribed to pregnant women in the late 1950s.Thalidomide was sold as a sedative but was found to be teratogenic, causing multiple birth defects. Recently,thalidomide use has increased for the treatment of multiple myeloma and erythema nodosum leprosum, a painfulcomplication of leprosy. Thalidomide teratogenic activity may be a consequence of CRBN-binding, which inhibits theubiquitin ligase activity of the DCX (DDB1-CUL4-X-box) protein ligase complex, possibly leading to abnormal regulationof the BMP and FGF8 signaling pathways (PubMed:20223979)
Caution: Although it contains a Lon domain also found in proteases of the peptidase S16 family, it does not contain theATP-binding and catalytic domains, suggesting that it has no protease activity
