WDFY1 WD repeat and FYVE domain containing 1

Gene ID: 57590, updated on 6-Oct-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: WDF1; FENS1; FENS-1; ZFYVE17

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is a phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate binding protein, which contains a FYVE zinc finger domain and multiple WD-40 repeat domains. When exogenously expressed, it localizes to early endosomes. Mutagenesis analysis demonstrates that this endosomal localization is mediated by the FYVE domain. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2015]
