Summary: Predicted to enable ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in protein ubiquitination and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process. Located in neuron projection; neuronal cell body; and postsynaptic density. Part of Cul3-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in intestine and neurons. Orthologous to human KLHL8 (kelch like family member 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

KEL-8 is a substrate receptor for Cullin 3 ubiquitin ligases that is required for the proteolysis of GLR-1 receptors and suggest a novel postmitotic role in neurons for Kelch/CUL3 ubiquitin ligases.
