WWC1 Gene Summary [Human]
The protein encoded by this gene is a cytoplasmic phosphoprotein that interacts with PRKC-zeta and dynein light chain-1. Alleles of this gene have been found that enhance memory in some individuals. Three transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2010]

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in human WWC1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
- transcription regulator
- Domain with 2 conserved Trp (W) residues
- transcription co-activator
- kinase binding
- WW
- protein binding activity, bridging
- protein binding
- glutamic acid-rich domain
- WW domain
- C2 domain
