This gene is predicted to encode an F-box protein that is evolutionarily conserved between Arabidopsis and other eukaryotes including S.cerevisiae and humans. It may play a role in regulating translation under conditions of temperature stress. FBP7 transcript levels are increased at high and low temperatures.
