ID:KLHL7_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Kelch-like protein 7; FUNCTION: Substrate-specific adapter of a BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex. The BCR(KLHL7) complex acts by mediating ubiquitination and subsequent degradation of substrate proteins. Probably mediates 'Lys-48'-linked ubiquitination. PATHWAY: Protein modification; protein ubiquitination. SUBUNIT: Homodimer. Component of the BCR(KLHL7) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, at least composed of CUL3 and KLHL7 and RBX1. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Widely expressed, with highest levels in adult and fetal heart, CNS and adult testis. DISEASE: Defects in KLHL7 are the cause of retinitis pigmentosa type 42 (RP42) [MIM:612943]. A retinal dystrophy belonging to the group of pigmentary retinopathies. RP is characterized by retinal pigment deposits visible on fundus examination and primary loss of rod photoreceptor cells followed by secondary loss of cone photoreceptors. Patients typically have night vision blindness and loss of midperipheral visual field. As their condition progresses, they lose their far peripheral visual field and eventually central vision as well. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 BACK (BTB/Kelch associated) domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 BTB (POZ) domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 6 Kelch repeats.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
