Gene information for WFDC8 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID90199
Official gene symbolWFDC8
Full nameWAP four-disulfide core domain 8
Aliases,C20orf170,WAP8,dJ461P17.1,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of the WAP-type four-disulfide core (WFDC) domain family. 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. The encoded protein contains a Kunitz-inhibitor domain, in addition to three WFDC domains. Most WFDC genes are localized to chromosome 20q12-q13 in two clusters: centromeric and telomeric. This gene belongs to the telomeric cluster. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, and they encode the same protein. [provided by RefSeq]
