Gene information for WFDC5 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID149708
Official gene symbolWFDC5
Full nameWAP four-disulfide core domain 5
Aliases,PRG5,WAP1,dJ211D12.5,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the WAP-type four-disulfide core (WFDC) domain family. Most WFDC proteins contain only one WFDC domain, and this encoded protein contains two WFDC domains. The WFDC domain, or WAP signature motif, contains eight cysteines forming four disulfide bonds at the core of the protein, and functions as a protease inhibitor. Most WFDC gene members are localized to chromosome 20q12-q13 in two clusters: centromeric and telomeric. This gene belongs to the centromeric cluster. [provided by RefSeq]
