Klhl7 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable protein homodimerization activity and ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Predicted to be involved in proteasome-mediated ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process and protein ubiquitination. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cytosol; nuclear lumen; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of Cul3-RING ubiquitin ligase complex. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in cold-induced sweating syndrome 3 and retinitis pigmentosa 42. Orthologous to human KLHL7 (kelch like family member 7). [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 Klhl7 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
