Wdr12 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable ribonucleoprotein complex binding activity. Predicted to be involved in maturation of 5.8S rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA); maturation of LSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA); and regulation of cell cycle. Predicted to act upstream of or within Notch signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in nucleolus and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of PeBoW complex and preribosome, large subunit precursor. Orthologous to human WDR12 (WD repeat domain 12). [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 Wdr12 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
