KLHDC2 Proteins and Enzymes

KLHDC2, also known as Kelch domain-containing protein 2, is a 46kDa 406 amino acid protein with a shorter 28kDa 249 isoform produced by alternative splicing. KLHDC2 interfers with CREB3-DNA binding by repressing CREB3-mediated transcription. Current research is being conducted on KLHDC2 in relation to Legg-Calve-Perthes disease, hepatocellular carcinoma and herpes simplex. KLHDC2 is linked to the reflex, excretion, micturition, cytokine production and lactation pathways where it interacts with DDX19B, SFN, STRN4, EZH2 and UBXN7.
