| HGNC Family | Ankyrin repeat domain containing (ANKRD) |
| Name | ankyrin repeat and SOCS box containing 12 |
| Description | The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the ankyrin repeat and SOCS box-containing (ASB) family of proteins. They contain ankyrin repeat sequence and a SOCS box domain. The SOCS box serves to couple suppressor of cytokine signalling (SOCS) proteins and their binding partners with the elongin B and C complex, possibly targeting them for degradation.

| Summary |
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n ASB12 is a member of the ankyrin repeat and SOCS‐box protein family whose specific biological roles are still being elucidated. Although many ASB proteins form part of E3 ubiquitin ligase complexes that target proteins for degradation, current evidence indicates that ASB12 does not uniformly contribute to disease phenotypes. For example, in skeletal dysplasias such as osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis (OSCS), studies reveal that when ASB12 is deleted together with WTX, patients demonstrate a good neurodevelopmental prognosis; this finding suggests that loss of ASB12 is unlikely to be a primary driver of the neurodevelopmental deficits sometimes observed in OSCS cases."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " Conversely, gene expression analyses in diabetic mouse brain have identified ASB12 as one of several candidate hub genes associated with altered signaling—potentially involving the PI3K/AKT pathway and apoptotic processes—indicating that ASB12 may play a role in modulating brain responses under metabolic stress."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "3"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " In addition, while several members of the ASB family are essential for spermatogenesis, the specific contribution of ASB12 in testicular function remains under active investigation using genome editing approaches."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "4"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": " Overall, these studies highlight the context‐dependent nature of ASB12’s function and underscore the need for further research to define its precise molecular roles in development and disease.\n "}]}, {"type": "rg", "children": [{"type": "r", "ref": 1, "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "S K Holman, T Morgan, G Baujat, et al.
