Wdr24 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable ubiquitin protein ligase activity. Involved in positive regulation of TORC1 signaling. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of protein kinase activity. Predicted to be located in lysosomal membrane. Predicted to be part of GATOR2 complex. Predicted to be active in cytosol and vacuolar membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including adrenal gland; genitourinary system; gut; lung; and spinal cord. Orthologous to human WDR24 (WD repeat domain 24).

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 mouse Wdr24 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
