• Entrez Summary: This gene is ubiquitously expressed and encodes a full-length protein which has an N-terminal BTB domain followed by a BACK domain and six kelch-like repeats in the C-terminus. These kelch-like repeats promote substrate ubiquitination of bound proteins via interaction of the BTB domain with the CUL3 (cullin 3) component of a cullin-RING E3 ubiquitin ligase (CRL) complex. Muatations in this gene cause pseudohypoaldosteronism type IID (PHA2D); a rare Mendelian syndrome featuring hypertension, hyperkalaemia and metabolic acidosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2012].
• UniProt Summary: 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). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:E0CZ16, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14528312, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22406640, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23387299, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23453970, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23576762, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23665031}.
