Gene: NWD1

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: The protein encoded by this gene is thought to be a cytosolic protein and predicted to contain a NACHT domain and multiple WD40 repeats. Increased expression of this gene was observed in some prostate cancer cell lines. Knocking down expression of this gene results in decreased androgen receptor protein levels, indicating that this gene may be important in modulating androgen receptor activity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19p13.11

Description of this Gene: NACHT and WD repeat domain containing 1

Type of Gene: protein-coding
