Description

Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including disordered domain specific binding activity; transcription regulator inhibitor activity; and ubiquitin-like ligase-substrate adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including response to immobilization stress; response to thyroid hormone; and selenium compound metabolic process. Located in adherens junction and focal adhesion. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of diabetic retinopathy; end stage renal disease; and ureteral obstruction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in gallbladder cancer. Orthologous to human KEAP1 (kelch like ECH associated protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
