Wac Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II complex binding activity and chromatin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including mitotic G1 DNA damage checkpoint signaling; positive regulation of TORC1 signaling; and regulation of catabolic process. Predicted to be located in nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of spliceosomal complex. Predicted to be active in nucleus. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in DeSanto-Shinawi syndrome. Orthologous to human WAC (WW domain containing adaptor with coiled-coil). [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 rat Wac often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
