Summary

FNTB (farnesyltransferase, CAAX box, subunit beta, HGNC:3785) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 14q23.3, encoding Protein farnesyltransferase subunit beta (P49356). Essential subunit of the farnesyltransferase complex. In precision oncology, FNTB RS11623866 is associated with resistance to Lonafarnib in Ovarian Cancer (CIViC Level B). It is a selective cancer dependency (DepMap: 90.0% of cell lines).

Enables acetyltransferase activator activity; enzyme binding activity; and zinc ion binding activity. Contributes to protein farnesyltransferase activity. Involved in protein farnesylation and regulation of microtubule-based movement. Part of microtubule associated complex and protein farnesyltransferase complex. Implicated in anxiety disorder.
