Anaphase Promoting Complex Subunit 7 (ANAPC7)

APC7 is a deduced 565-amino acid protein.The anaphase-promoting complex (APC) consists of at least 8 protein subunits, including APC5, CDC27 (APC3), CDC16 (APC6), and CDC23 (APC8).

This gene encodes a tetratricopeptide repeat containing component of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), a large E3 ubiquitin ligase that controls cell cycle progression by targeting a number of cell cycle regulators such as B-type cyclins for 26S proteasome-mediated degradation through ubiquitination. The encoded protein is required for proper protein ubiquitination function of APC/C and for the interaction of APC/C with certain transcription coactivators. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.
