Kelch repeat and BTB domain containing 2(KBTBD2), also known as BTB and kelch domain-containing protein 1, encodes a BTB-Kelch family subunit that p85α-specific recognition for the Cullin3-based E3 ubiqitin ligase complex, which regulates p85α protein ubiquitination and subsequently regulates phosphoinositide-3 kinases (PI3K) signaling (PMID:27708159). However, the expression profile and functional significance of Kbtbd2 is still largely unknown. The Human Protein Atlas which is an online source shows high Kbtbd2 expression in the spleen and thymus, suggesting that Kbtbd2 might involved in immunization (PMID:29331106). In addition, Kbtbd2 is related to Src-induced phosphorylation of protein, spermatogonial stem cell activity(PMID:15623525, 29331106).
