Ankyrin repeat and SOCS box containing 8, also known as ASB8, may be a substrate-recognition component of a SCF-like ECS (Elongin-Cullin-SOCS-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex which mediates the ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of target proteins. Source: Recombinant protein corresponding to aa1-288 of human SOCS, fused to His-tag at N-terminal expressed in E. coli.
