BTB (Broad-Complex, Tramtrack and Bric a brac)/POZ (poxvirus and zinc finger) domain found in potassium channel tetramerization domain-containing protein 7 (KCTD7)
KCTD7 is a BTB/POZ domain-containing protein that has an impact on K+ fluxes, neurotransmitter synthesis, and neuronal function. It functions as a regulator of potassium conductance in neurons, and is involved in the control of excitability of cortical neurons. Mutations in KCTD7 may cause progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME). 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.
