Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: BTB/Kelch-associated; BTB/POZ domain; BTB And C-terminal Kelch; Kelch motif; BTB-kelch protein; Kelch-like protein 8; Kelch-type beta propeller; Kelch repeat type 1; and SKP1/BTB/POZ domain superfamily. Is an ortholog of C. elegans kel-8. In C. elegans, kel-8 is involved in protein ubiquitination and ubiquitin-dependent protein catabolic process.
