Gene: WDR18

Alternate names for this Gene: Ipi3|R32184_1

Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp (GH-WD), which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 19

Location in Chromosome : 19p13.3

Description of this Gene: WD repeat domain 18

Type of Gene: protein-coding
