Function

Substrate-specific adapter of a BCR (BTB-CUL3-RBX1) E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that acts as a regulator of ion transport in the distal nephron. The BCR(KLHL3) complex acts by mediating ubiquitination of WNK4, an inhibitor of potassium channel KCNJ1, leading to WNK4 degradation. {ECO:0000269PubMed:14528312, ECO:0000269PubMed:22406640, ECO:0000269PubMed:23387299, ECO:0000269PubMed:23453970, ECO:0000269PubMed:23576762, ECO:0000269PubMed:23665031}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269PubMed:22406640}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000269PubMed:22406640}.

Disease Associations

Pseudohypoaldosteronism 2D (PHA2D) [MIM:614495]: A disorder characterized by severe hypertension, hyperkalemia, hyperchloremia, hyperchloremic metabolic acidosis, and correction of physiologic abnormalities by thiazide diuretics. PHA2D inheritance is autosomal dominant or recessive. {ECO:0000269PubMed:22266938, ECO:0000269PubMed:22406640}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Widely expressed. {ECO:0000269PubMed:22406640}.
