Predicted to enable iron ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; iron ion homeostasis; and protein ubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of or within positive regulation of cellular protein catabolic process. Predicted to be located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of SCF ubiquitin ligase complex. Orthologous to human FBXL5 (F-box and leucine rich repeat protein 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
