WIPF2 WAS/WASL interacting protein family member 2

Gene ID: 147179, updated on 19-Sep-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: WICH; WIRE

Summary

This gene encodes a WASP interacting protein (WIP)-related protein. It has been shown that this protein has a role in the WASP-mediated organization of the actin cytoskeleton and that this protein is a potential link between the activated platelet-derived growth factor receptor and the actin polymerization machinery.
