BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing protein 3 (KCTD3) and SH3KBP1-binding protein 1 (SHKBP1); The group of KCTD proteins includes KCTD3 and SHKBP1. 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. SHKBP1, also called SETA-binding protein 1, interacts with cathepsin B and participates in tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-induced apoptosis in ovarian cancer cells. It can promote epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling by interrupting c-Cbl-CIN85 complex and inhibiting EGFR degradation. 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 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 potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily D member 1 (KCND1); KCND1, also called voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv4.1, is a pore-forming subunit of voltage-gated rapidly inactivating A-type potassium channels. It may contribute to I (To) current in heart and I (Sa) current in neurons. Its properties are modulated by interactions with other alpha subunits and with regulatory subunits. 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. KCND1 is an alpha subunit that forms functional homo- or hetero-tetrameric channels (with other Kv4/KCND alpha subunits) through its BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, which is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif. It is modulated by cytoplasmic KChIPs/KCNIPs (Kv-channel interacting proteins), which are small calcium binding proteins with EF-hand-like domains.

KCTD10 is a BTB/POZ domain-containing protein that interacts with proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and polymerase delta, and participates in DNA repair, DNA replication, and cell-cycle control. Its down-regulation could inhibit cell proliferation. KCTD10 also plays crucial roles in embryonic angiogenesis and heart development in mammals by negatively regulating the Notch signaling pathway.

TNFAIP1, also called protein B12, is a BTB/POZ domain-containing protein that is involved in DNA replication, DNA damage repair, cell apoptosis, and is implicated in human diseases including cancer, Alzheimer's disease (AD) and type 2 diabetic nephropathy.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in Drosophila melanogaster potassium voltage-gated channel protein Shal and similar proteins; Drosophila melanogaster Shal, also called Shaker cognate l or Shal2, is a transient potassium current (I(A)) channel, which is required for maintaining excitability during repetitive firing and normal locomotion in Drosophila. It may play a role in the nervous system and in the regulation of beating frequency in pacemaker cells. Shal mediates the voltage-dependent potassium ion permeability of excitable membranes. Assuming opened or closed conformations in response to the voltage difference across the membrane, the protein forms a potassium-selective channel through which potassium ions may pass in accordance with their electrochemical gradient. 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. Shal is an alpha subunit that forms functional homo- or hetero-tetrameric channels (with other alpha subunits) through its BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, which is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif.
