KLHL3 [ENSP00000312397]

Kelch-like protein 3; Substrate-specific adapter of a BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that acts as a regulator of ion transport in the distal nephron (PubMed:14528312, PubMed:22406640, PubMed:23387299, PubMed:23453970, PubMed:23576762, PubMed:23665031). The BCR(KLHL3) complex acts by mediating ubiquitination of WNK4, an inhibitor of potassium channel KCNJ1, leading to WNK4 degradation (PubMed:23387299, PubMed:23453970, PubMed:23576762, PubMed:23665031). The BCR(KLHL3) complex also mediates ubiquitination and degradation of CLDN8, a tight- junction protein required for paracellular chloride transport in the kidney (By similarity).
