WIPI2 WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 2

Gene ID: 26100, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: Atg21; ATG18B; CGI-50; IDDSSA; WIPI-2

Summary

WD40 repeat proteins are key components of many essential biologic functions. They regulate the assembly of multiprotein complexes by presenting a beta-propeller platform for simultaneous and reversible protein-protein interactions. Members of the WIPI subfamily of WD40 repeat proteins, such as WIPI2, have a 7-bladed propeller structure and contain a conserved motif for interaction with phospholipids (Proikas-Cezanne et al., 2004 [PubMed 15602573]).[supplied by OMIM, Mar 2008]
