About KLHL6

Cytogenetic location: 3q27.1 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 3:183,487,551-183,555,706 (from NCBI)

This gene has 4 transcripts (splice variants), 87 orthologues and 54 paralogues. Biased expression in lymph node (RPKM 24.5), appendix (RPKM 11.9) and 10 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of the kelch-like (KLHL) family of proteins, which is involved in B-lymphocyte antigen receptor signaling and germinal-center B-cell maturation. The encoded protein contains an N-terminal broad-complex, tramtrack and bric a brac (BTB) domain that facilitates protein binding and dimerization, a BTB and C-terminal kelch (BACK) domain, and six C-terminal kelch repeat domains. Naturally occurring mutations in this gene are associated with chronic lymphocytic leukemia. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2017]
