BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing protein 3 (KCTD3); KCTD3, also called renal carcinoma antigen NY-REN-45, is a BTB/POZ domain-containing protein that is an accessory subunit of potassium/sodium hyperpolarization-activated cyclic nucleotide-gated channel 3 (HCN3), upregulating its cell-surface expression and current density without affecting its voltage dependence and kinetics. The BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif that facilitates homodimerization or heterodimerization. KCTD family BTB domains can adopt a wide range of oligomerization geometries, including homodimerization, tetramerization, and pentamerization.

Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac; Domain in Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac. Also known as POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain. Known to be a protein-protein interaction motif found at the N-termini of several C2H2-type transcription factors as well as Shaw-type potassium channels. Known structure reveals a tightly intertwined dimer formed via interactions between N-terminal strand and helix structures. However in a subset of BTB/POZ domains, these two secondary structures appear to be missing. Be aware SMART predicts BTB/POZ domains without the beta1- and alpha1-secondary structures.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing protein KCTD11; KCTD11 may function as an antagonist of the Hedgehog pathway of cell proliferation and differentiation by affecting the nuclear transfer of transcription factor GLI1, thus maintaining cerebellar granule cells in the undifferentiated state. It is a probable substrate-specific adapter for a BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex towards HDAC1. It contains a BTB/POZ domain; in some cases the domain may be truncated. The BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif that facilitates homodimerization or heterodimerization. KCTD family BTB domains can adopt a wide range of oligomerization geometries, including homodimerization, tetramerization, and pentamerization. Variants of the human/mouse KCTD11 appear to contain truncated BTB/POZ domains.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in KCNC/Kv3 subfamily of Shaw-type voltage-dependent potassium channels; Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels are composed of alpha subunits, which form the actual conductance pore, and cytoplasmic beta subunits, which are auxiliary proteins that associate with alpha subunits to modulate the activity of the Kv channel. The potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily Kv3, also known as subfamily C, contains four alpha subunit members, Kv3.1 (KCNC1), Kv3.2 (KCNC2), Kv3.3 (KCNC3), and Kv3.4 (KCNC4), which are orthologs of the Shaw gene in Drosophila. Unlike other Kv subfamilies, Kv3 channels typically open only at positive potentials and both, activation and deactivation, in response to changes in voltage are very rapid. They are uniquely associated with the ability of certain neurons to fire action potentials and to release neurotransmitter at high rates of up to 1,000 Hz. Kv3/KCNC subfamily alpha subunits form functional homo- or hetero-tetrameric channels (with other alpha subunits) through their BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, which is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif.

The BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif that facilitates homodimerization or heterodimerization. KCTD family BTB domains can adopt a wide range of oligomerization geometries, including homodimerization, tetramerization, and pentamerization.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily S member 2 (KCNS2); KCNS2, also called delayed-rectifier K(+) channel alpha subunit 2 or voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv9.2, is a modulatory alpha subunit of voltage-gated potassium channel that can form functional heterotetrameric channels with KCNB1 (also known as Kv2.1) and KCNB2 (also known as Kv2.2), and further modulates the delayed rectifier voltage-gated potassium channel activation and deactivation rates of KCNB1 and KCNB2. Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels are composed of alpha subunits, which form the actual conductance pore, and cytoplasmic beta subunits, which are auxiliary proteins that associate with alpha subunits to modulate the activity of the Kv channel. KCNS2 is a regulatory alpha subunit that cannot form a functional homo-tetrameric channel. It forms hetero-tetrameric channels (with other functional alpha subunits) through its BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, which is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily V member 1 (KCNV1); KCNV1, also called neuronal potassium channel alpha subunit HNKA or voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv8.1, is a new neuronal voltage-gated potassium channel alpha subunit with specific inhibitory properties towards Shab and Shaw channels. It modulates KCNB1 (also known as Kv2.1) and KCNB2 (also known as Kv2.2) channel activity by shifting the threshold for inactivation to more negative values and by slowing the rate of inactivation. It can also down-regulate the channel activity of KCNB1, KCNB2, KCNC4 (also known as Kv3.4) and KCND1 (also known as Kv4.1), possibly by trapping them in intracellular membranes. Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels are composed of alpha subunits, which form the actual conductance pore, and cytoplasmic beta subunits, which are auxiliary proteins that associate with alpha subunits to modulate the activity of the Kv channel. KCNV1 is a regulatory alpha subunit that cannot form a functional homo-tetrameric channel. It forms hetero-tetrameric channels (with other functional alpha subunits) through its BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, which is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif.
