KLHL4 kelch like family member 4

Gene ID: 56062, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: KHL4; DKELCHL

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the kelch family of proteins, which are characterized by kelch repeat motifs and a POZ/BTB protein-binding domain. It is thought that kelch repeats are actin binding domains. However, the specific function of this protein has not been determined. Alternative splicing of this gene results in two transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
