WDR72

WDR72 is a protein-coding gene found in humans. The protein encoded by WDR72 is thought to be involved in protein-protein interactions, playing a role in various cellular processes. Its exact functions are still under investigation, but it belongs to the WD repeat protein family, characterized by a specific protein domain that is often found in scaffolding proteins. These proteins are known to mediate interactions between different molecular partners. WDR72 has been implicated in pathways related to cell growth and differentiation, although the specific mechanisms are not fully elucidated. Research suggests it may interact with other proteins involved in signal transduction and gene regulation. Mutations in the WDR72 gene have been associated with certain genetic disorders, highlighting its importance in human health. Further studies are ongoing to fully understand the biological significance and potential therapeutic targets related to WDR72.
