Wdr43 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable RNA polymerase II complex binding activity and transcription elongation factor activity. Predicted to be involved in maturation of SSU-rRNA from tricistronic rRNA transcript (SSU-rRNA, 5.8S rRNA, LSU-rRNA); regulation of RNA metabolic process; and regulation of stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to be located in chromatin; fibrillar center; and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of small-subunit processome. Predicted to be active in nucleolus. Orthologous to human WDR43 (WD repeat domain 43). [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 Wdr43 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
