KLHL17 kelch like family member 17

Gene ID: 339451, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: AF

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is expressed in neurons of most regions of the brain. It contains an N-terminal BTB domain, which mediates dimerization of the protein, and a C-terminal Kelch domain, which mediates binding to F-actin. This protein may play a key role in the regulation of actin-based neuronal function. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010]
