Enables ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in SCF-dependent proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process and protein ubiquitination. Predicted to act upstream of or within cerebral cortex radially oriented cell migration and radial glia guided migration of Purkinje cell. Located in site of DNA damage. Part of Cul5-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

Cullin-5 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CUL5 gene.

==Discovery== The mammalian gene product was originally discovered by expression cloning, due to the protein's ability to mobilize intracellular calcium in response to the peptide hormone arginine vasopressin. It was first titled VACM-1, for vasopressin-activated, calcium-mobilizing receptor. Since then, VACM-1 has been shown to be homologous to the Cullin family of proteins, and was subsequently dubbed cul5.
