Protein Domain : Kelch-like protein 2 , BTB/POZ domain IPR044072

Type	Domain
Description	KLHL2, also called actin-binding protein Mayven, is a novel actin-binding protein predominantly expressed in the brain. It plays a role in the reorganisation of the actin cytoskeleton, and promotes growth of cell projections in oligodendrocyte precursors [ , ]. KLHL2 is a component of a cullin-RING-based BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex that mediates the ubiquitination of target proteins, such as NPTXR, leading most often to their proteasomal degradation [, ]. It contains a BTB domain and kelch repeat domains, characteristics of a kelch family protein.This entry represents the BTB/POZ domain, which is a common protein-protein interaction motif of about 100 amino acids.
