Gene information for WDR5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID11091
Official gene symbolWDR5
Full nameWD repeat domain 5
Aliases,BIG-3,SWD3,
Gene summaryThis 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. This protein contains 7 WD repeats. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified. [provided by RefSeq]
