KN motif and ankyrin repeat domain-containing protein 1 is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the ''KANK1''
gene.
This gene encodes a protein containing four
ankyrin repeat domains in its
C-terminus
The C-terminus (also known as the carboxyl-terminus, carboxy-terminus, C-terminal tail, C-terminal end, or COOH-terminus) is the end of an amino acid chain (protein or polypeptide), terminated by a free carboxyl group (-COOH). When the protein is ...
. The suggested role for this protein is in
tumorigenesis of
renal cell carcinoma.
Two alternatively spliced
transcript variants encoding different
isoforms have been identified.
