Wdfy3 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables beta-N-acetylglucosaminylglycopeptide beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in aggrephagy. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in central nervous system; ganglia; heart; liver; and neural retina. Used to study autism spectrum disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal dominant microcephaly 18. Orthologous to human WDFY3 (WD repeat and FYVE domain containing 3).

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 Wdfy3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
