Other Information

**Key Characteristics:** DCAF8 is a protein-coding gene that is significantly expressed in various cell types, including polychromatophilic erythroblasts, hematopoietic oligopotent progenitor cells, and smooth muscle fibers of the ileum. It belongs to the Cul4-Ring E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, which is involved in the regulation of protein ubiquitination and neddylation. The gene is also associated with the CUL4-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, which is a key player in the regulation of protein degradation and cellular homeostasis. **Pathways and Functions:** DCAF8 is involved in several key pathways, including: 1. **Cul4-Ring E3 Ubiquitin Ligase Complex:** This complex is responsible for the ubiquitination and neddylation of proteins, which play a crucial role in the regulation of protein degradation and cellular homeostasis. 2. **Protein Binding:** DCAF8 interacts with various proteins, including DDB1 and CUL4, to regulate protein ubiquitination and neddylation. 3. **Metabolism of Proteins:** DCAF8 is involved in the regulation of protein metabolism, including protein degradation and synthesis. 4. **Mitochondrion:** DCAF8 is localized to the mitochondria, where it regulates mitochondrial function and biogenesis. 5. **Neddylation:** DCAF8 is involved in the regulation of neddylation, a post-translational modification that plays a crucial role in protein degradation and cellular homeostasis. **Clinical Significance:** DCAF8 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Immunodeficiency Disorders:** Mutations in the DCAF8 gene have been associated with immunodeficiency disorders, including severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID) and hyper IgM syndrome. 2. **Cancer:** DCAF8 has been implicated in the regulation of cancer cell growth and survival, and its dysregulation has been associated with various types of cancer, including breast cancer and lung cancer. 3. **Neurological Disorders:** DCAF8 has been implicated in the regulation of neuronal function and survival, and its dysregulation has been associated with various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. In conclusion, DCAF8 is a gene that plays a crucial role in immune regulation and cellular homeostasis. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including immunodeficiency disorders, cancer, and neurological disorders. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of DCAF8 in human disease and to develop effective therapeutic strategies for the treatment of these conditions. **Recommendations:** 1. **Immunodeficiency Disorders:** Further research is needed to understand the mechanisms underlying immunodeficiency disorders caused by DCAF8 mutations. 2. **Cancer:** DCAF8 could be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of cancer, and further research is needed to understand its role in cancer cell growth and survival. 3. **Neurological Disorders:** DCAF8 could be a potential therapeutic target for the treatment of neurological disorders, and further research is needed to understand its role in neuronal function and survival. In summary, DCAF8 is a gene that plays a crucial role in immune regulation and cellular homeostasis. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including immunodeficiency disorders, cancer, and neurological disorders. Further research is needed to fully understand the role of DCAF8 in human disease and to develop effective therapeutic strategies for the treatment of these conditions.
