Recombinant Human Kelch-like protein 15 (KLHL15)

Uniprot Id

Q96M94

Target Species

Human

Target Name

KLHL15

Target Full Name

Kelch-like protein 15

Target Function

Substrate-specific adapter for CUL3 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex. Acts as an adapter for CUL3 to target the serine/threonine-protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) subunit PPP2R5B for ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation, thus promoting exchange with other regulatory subunits. Acts as an adapter for CUL3 to target the DNA-end resection factor RBBP8/CtIP for ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation. Through the regulation of RBBP8/CtIP protein turnover, plays a key role in DNA damage response, favoring DNA double-strand repair through error-prone non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) over error-free, RBBP8-mediated homologous recombination (HR)

Target Involvement

Mental retardation, X-linked 103 (MRX103)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Synonyms

Kelch like 15 (Drosophila); Kelch like 15; Kelch-like protein 15; KIAA1677; KLH15_HUMAN; KLHL15; MGC126148; MGC126149; OTTHUMP00000023075

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the kelch-like family of proteins that share a common domain structure consisting of an N-terminal broad-complex, tramtrack, bric-a-brac/poxvirus and zinc finger domain and C-terminal kelch repeat motifs. The encoded protein may be involved in protein ubiquitination and cytoskeletal organization.
