Recombinant Human Kelch-like protein 13 (KLHL13)

Uniprot Id

Q9P2N7

Target Species

Human

Target Name

KLHL13

Target Full Name

Kelch-like protein 13

Target Function

Substrate-specific adapter of a BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex required for mitotic progression and cytokinesis. The BCR(KLHL9-KLHL13) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex mediates the ubiquitination of AURKB and controls the dynamic behavior of AURKB on mitotic chromosomes and thereby coordinates faithful mitotic progression and completion of cytokinesis.

Target Synonyms

BKLHD2; BTB and kelch domain containing 2; BTB and kelch domain containing 2 KIAA1309; BTB and kelch domain containing protein 2; BTB and kelch domain-containing protein 2; FLJ10262; Kelch like 13 (Drosophila); Kelch like protein 13; Kelch-like protein 13; KIAA1309; KLH13_HUMAN; KLHL13; MGC74791

Target Background

This gene encodes a BTB and kelch domain containing protein and belongs to the kelch repeat domain containing superfamily of proteins. The encoded protein functions as an adaptor protein that complexes with Cullin 3 and other proteins to form the Cullin 3-based E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex. This complex is necessary for proper chromosome segregation and completion of cytokinesis. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
