Klhl40 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in myotube differentiation and positive regulation of protein metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of proteasomal ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process and negative regulation of protein ubiquitination. Located in A band and I band. Part of Cul3-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Is expressed in several structures, including diaphragm; genitourinary system; limb segment; musculature; and paraxial mesenchyme. Used to study nemaline myopathy 8. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nemaline myopathy 8. Orthologous to human KLHL40 (kelch like family member 40).

Protein Domains
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 mouse Klhl40 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
