HGNC Approved Gene Symbol: KBTBD4
Cytogenetic location: 11p11.2 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 11:47,572,197-47,578,970 (from NCBI)
KBTBD4 belongs to a family of Kelch repeat- and BTB domain-containing proteins that function as CUL3 (603136)-based E3 ubiquitin ligases for protein ubiquitination (Canning et al., 2013).
By sequencing clones obtained from a CD34 (142230)-positive human hematopoietic stem/progenitor cell cDNA library, Zhang et al. (2000) cloned KBTBD4, which they called HSPC252. The deduced protein contains 323 amino acids.
Zhang et al. (2000) determined that the KBTBD4 gene contains at least 3 exons.
Hartz (2017) mapped the KBTBD4 gene to chromosome 11p11.2 based on an alignment of the KBTBD4 sequence (GenBank AK001312) with the genomic sequence (GRCh38).
