Wdr63 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable Arp2/3 complex binding activity; dynein heavy chain binding activity; and dynein light chain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including inner dynein arm assembly; negative regulation of Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin nucleation; and positive regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be part of inner dynein arm. Orthologous to human DNAI3 (dynein axonemal intermediate chain 3). [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 rat Wdr63 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
