Wdr6 Gene Summary [Rat]

Enables insulin receptor substrate binding activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of autophagy; negative regulation of cell population proliferation; and wobble position ribose methylation. Predicted to act upstream of with a negative effect on G1 to G0 transition. Part of protein-containing complex. Orthologous to human WDR6 (WD repeat domain 6).

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 Wdr6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
