Wdr11 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Involved in several processes, including cilium assembly; heart development; and regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Located in axoneme; ciliary basal body; and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; frontal bone primordium; metanephros; otic capsule; and submandibular gland primordium. Used to study Kallmann syndrome and ciliopathy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive intellectual developmental disorder and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 14 with or without anosmia. Orthologous to human WDR11 (WD repeat domain 11). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

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 Wdr11 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
