Washc1 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase inhibitor activity; tubulin binding activity; and ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin nucleation; endosomal transport; and meiotic nuclear division. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including low-density lipoprotein particle clearance; positive regulation of cholesterol import; and positive regulation of protein localization to cell surface. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including autophagosome; centrosome; and lamellipodium. Predicted to be part of BLOC-1 complex; WASH complex; and exocyst. Predicted to be active in early endosome and recycling endosome. Orthologous to several human genes including WASHC1 (WASH complex subunit 1). [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 Washc1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
