Kelch-like protein 18 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KLHL18 gene.^[1][2]

Model organisms

Model organisms have been used in the study of KLHL18 function. A conditional knockout mouse line called Klhl18^{tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi} was generated at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute.^[3] Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen^[4] to determine the effects of deletion.^[5][6][7][8] Additional screens performed: - In-depth immunological phenotyping^[9]
