WIPF1 WAS/WASL interacting protein family member 1

Gene ID: 7456, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: WIP; WAS2; PRPL-2; WASPIP

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that plays an important role in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. The encoded protein binds to a region of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein that is frequently mutated in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, an X-linked recessive disorder. Impairment of the interaction between these two proteins may contribute to the disease. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene.
