Kbtbd2

Predicted to enable ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; protein K48-linked ubiquitination; and regulation of cellular response to insulin stimulus. Predicted to act upstream of or within with a positive effect on several processes, including glucose metabolic process; phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase/protein kinase B signal transduction; and response to insulin. Predicted to be part of Cul3-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human KBTBD2 (kelch repeat and BTB domain containing 2).

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Kbtbd2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
