    Summary
    This gene is ubiquitously expressed and encodes a full-length protein which has an N-terminal BTB domain followed by a BACK domain and six kelch-like repeats in the C-terminus. These kelch-like repeats promote substrate ubiquitination of bound proteins via interaction of the BTB domain with the CUL3 (cullin 3) component of a cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase (CRL) complex. Muatations in this gene cause pseudohypoaldosteronism type IID (PHA2D); a rare Mendelian syndrome featuring hypertension, hyperkalaemia and metabolic acidosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

      Status: REVIEWED

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (2) lacks a 5' coding exon and has an alternate 5' exon which results in the use of a downstream in-frame start codon, compared to variant 1. These differences result in a protein (isoform 2; also known as KLHL3b) with a shorter N-terminus, compared to isoform 1.

      Description
      Transcript Variant: This variant (3) lacks multiple 5' coding exons and has an alternate 5' exon which results in the use of a downstream in-frame start codon, compared to variant 1. These differences result in a protein (isoform 3; also known as KLHL3c) with a shorter N-terminus, compared to isoform 1. This isoform is predicted to lack the protein binding BTB domain that is present in isoform 1.
