KLHDC8B is characterized by its beta-propeller structure formed by multiple Kelch repeats. This structure allows the protein to interact with other proteins, facilitating various cellular processes. One of the key functions of KLHDC8B is its involvement in cytokinesis, the process where a single cell divides into two daughter cells. It plays a critical role in ensuring the proper segregation of chromosomes and nuclei during cell division, thereby maintaining chromosomal stability and preventing mitotic errors .
Research on KLHDC8B has provided valuable insights into its role in cell division and its implications in cancer. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of KLHDC8B can aid in the development of targeted therapies for diseases associated with its dysfunction. Additionally, recombinant forms of KLHDC8B are used in various research applications to study its structure and function in detail .
