Gene name

KLHDC8A

Description

kelch domain containing 8A

Protein class

Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT

Entrez gene summary

This gene encodes a kelch domain-containing protein which is upregulated in cancer. Upregulated expression of the encoded protein may provide an alternative pathway for tumors to maintain aggressiveness in the absence of epidermal growth factor receptor dependence. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]
