Gene: WDPCP
Alternate names for this Gene: BBS15|C2orf86|CHDTHP|CPLANE5|FRITZ|FRTZ
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a cytoplasmic WD40 repeat protein. A similar gene in frogs encodes a planar cell polarity protein that plays a critical role in collective cell movement and ciliogenesis by mediating septin localization. Mutations in this gene are associated with Bardet-Biedl syndrome 15 and may also play a role in Meckel-Gruber syndrome. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 2
Location in Chromosome : 2p15
Description of this Gene: WD repeat containing planar cell polarity effector
Type of Gene: protein-coding
