Summary: Predicted to enable K63-linked polyubiquitin modification-dependent protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including defense response to other organism; positive regulation of defense response to virus by host; and positive regulation of macromolecule biosynthetic process. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Is expressed in adult Malpighian tubule and organism. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Behcet's disease; Bloch-Sulzberger syndrome; X-linked recessive disease (multiple); amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (multiple); and glaucoma (multiple). Orthologous to human IKBKG (inhibitor of nuclear factor kappa B kinase regulatory subunit gamma) and OPTN (optineurin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Wolbachia-induced expression of kenny gene in testes affects male fertility in Drosophila melanogaster.
Title: Wolbachia-induced expression of kenny gene in testes affects male fertility in Drosophila melanogaster.
Drosophila Kenny is a selective autophagy receptor that mediates the degradation of the IkappaB kinase complex. Selective autophagic degradation of the IkappaB kinase complex prevents constitutive activation of the immune deficiency pathway in response to commensal microbiota. We show that autophagy-deficient flies have a systemic innate immune response that promotes a hyperplasia phenotype in the midgut.
Title: Kenny mediates selective autophagic degradation of the IKK complex to control innate immune responses.
