Wdr90 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity. Predicted to be involved in centriole elongation and cilium assembly. Predicted to be located in centriolar satellite. Predicted to be active in centriole. Is expressed in choroid invagination; diencephalon roof plate; metencephalon part of 4th ventricle choroid plexus; and olfactory epithelium. Orthologous to human WDR90 (WD repeat domain 90). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 Wdr90 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
