Overview:

KDM2B is a member of the F-box protein family which is characterized by an approximately 40 amino acid motif, the F-box proteins which constitute one of the four subunits of ubiquitin protein ligase complex called SCFs (SKP1-cullin-F-box), which function in phosphorylation-dependent ubiquitination (1). KDM2B functions in a DNA repair process other than mismatch repair. KDM2B is highly expressed in aggressive brain tumors, which play a main role in cancer development (2).KDM2B is a key regulator of JUN function.
