Summary: Contributes to peptide binding activity and protein farnesyltransferase activity. Involved in positive regulation of cell cycle; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and response to organic cyclic compound. Predicted to be part of microtubule associated complex and protein farnesyltransferase complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in anxiety disorder. Orthologous to several human genes including FNTB (farnesyltransferase, CAAX box, subunit beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jan 2025]

GeneRIFs: Gene References Into Functions

What's a GeneRIF?

Data suggest that substrate specificity of protein farnesyltransferase (subunits Fnta plus Fntb) is extensive; these results expand the scope of the potential prenylated proteome in this species. (Fnta = farnesyltransferase CAAX box alpha protein; Fntb = farnesyltransferase CAAX box beta protein)
Title: Efficient farnesylation of an extended C-terminal C(x)(3)X sequence motif expands the scope of the prenylated proteome.

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.
