Klhl20 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable type II interferon binding activity and ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Predicted to contribute to ubiquitin-protein transferase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Golgi to endosome transport; proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process; and protein K33-linked ubiquitination. Predicted to be located in Golgi apparatus and cytosol. Predicted to be part of Cul3-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Predicted to be active in PML body and trans-Golgi network. Orthologous to human KLHL20 (kelch like family member 20). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 rat Klhl20 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
