Krh2p

Krh2p is a protein found in the yeast organism Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Its name is derived from "Kelch Repeat Homolog 2". Krh2p is a member of the Kelch repeat protein family, characterized by the presence of tandem repeats of a conserved protein motif known as the Kelch motif. These motifs typically form a beta-propeller structure, which is involved in protein-protein interactions.

The precise biological function of Krh2p is not fully elucidated but research suggests it plays a role in cellular processes related to stress response and potentially in the regulation of gene expression. Studies have indicated its involvement in pathways that help yeast cells survive under adverse conditions, such as exposure to high temperatures or the presence of certain toxins. Krh2p has been observed to interact with other cellular proteins, suggesting its participation in larger protein complexes that carry out specific cellular tasks. Further investigation is ongoing to fully understand its localization within the cell and its specific molecular mechanisms of action.
