Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ankyrin repeat and SOCS box-containing (ASB) family of proteins. They contain ankyrin repeat sequence and SOCS box domain. The SOCS box serves to couple suppressor of cytokine signalling (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 but some of the full length sequences are not known. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?
  1. This analysis identified an antigen, ASB4, which was processed and presented by a cancer stem cell (CSC) subset but not by non-CSCs. The ASB4 gene was expressed in CSCs of colorectal cancer, but not in cells that had differentiated into non-CSCs.ASB4 is a tumor-associated antigen that can elicit CTL responses specific to CSCs and can discriminate between two cellular subsets of colorectal cancer.
    Title: The Antigen ASB4 on Cancer Stem Cells Serves as a Target for CTL Immunotherapy of Colorectal Cancer.
  2. Based on its differential expression, neuroanatomical distribution and colocalisation, we hypothesise that rat Asb-4 is a gene involved in energy homeostasis.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
