Wdfy3 Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable 1-phosphatidylinositol binding activity and beta-N-acetylglucosaminylglycopeptide beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in aggrephagy. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including autophagosome membrane; inclusion body; and nucleus. Predicted to be part of Atg12-Atg5-Atg16 complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal dominant microcephaly 18. Orthologous to human WDFY3 (WD repeat and FYVE domain containing 3).

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 Wdfy3 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
