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.

It may play an important role in regulating the death and growth of some non-nervous and nervous cells. BTBD10, also termed glucose metabolism-related protein 1 (GMRP1), plays a major role as an activator of AKT family members. It binds to Akt and protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) and inhibits the PP2A-mediated dephosphorylation of Akt, thereby keeping Akt activated. It also plays a role in preventing motor neuronal death and accelerating the growth of pancreatic beta cells.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels and potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing (KCTD) proteins; This family includes two protein groups: voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels and potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing (KCTD) proteins. Kv channels are membrane proteins with fundamental physiological roles. They are responsible for a variety of electrical phenomena, such as the repolarization of the action potential, spike frequency adaptation, synaptic repolarization, and smooth muscle contraction. KCTD proteins play crucial roles in a variety of fundamental biological processes, such as protein ubiquitination and degradation, suppression of proliferation or transcription, cytoskeleton regulation, tetramerization and gating of ion channels, and others. All family members contain the BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, which is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif that facilitates homodimerization or heterodimerization.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels; Voltage-gated potassium (Kv) channels are composed of alpha subunits, which form the actual conductance pore, and beta subunits, which are auxiliary proteins that associate with alpha subunits to modulate the activity of the Kv channel. This family includes several groups of alpha subunits such as KCNA/Kv1 family of Shaker-type Kv channels, KCNB/Kv2 family of Shab-type Kv channels, KCNC/Kv3 family of Shaw-type Kv channels, KCND/Kv4 family of Shal-type Kv channels, KCNF/Kv5 subfamily of Kv channels, KCNG/Kv6 subfamily of Kv channels, KCNV/Kv8 subfamily of Kv channels, and KCNS/Kv9 subfamily of Kv channels. Kv alpha subunits form functional homo- or hetero-tetrameric channels (typically with other alpha subunits from the same subfamily) through their BTB/POZ domain, also known as tetramerization (T1) domain, which is a versatile protein-protein interaction motif. KCNQ/Kv7 channels are not included in this family, since they do not contain a BTB/POZ domain.

BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium voltage-gated channel subfamily D member 2 (KCND2); KCND2, also called voltage-gated potassium channel subunit Kv4.2, is a major pore-forming subunit in somatodendritic subthreshold A-type potassium current I(SA) channels. It mediates transmembrane potassium transport in excitable membranes, primarily in the brain. 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. KCND2 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.
