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]
Expression: Ubiquitous expression in testis (RPKM 20.8), brain (RPKM 12.7) and 25 other tissues See more

Data suggest that, in patients with diabetic kidney disease, urinary excretion of mRNAs for MAP1LC3A, WIPI2, and RB1CC1 is down-regulated as compared to healthy control subjects; these transcripts may serve as urinary autophagy biomarkers.

Title: Evaluation of urinary autophagy transcripts expression in diabetic kidney disease.
Here the authors show that recruitment of WIPI2, itself essential for anti-bacterial autophagy, is dependent on the localization of catalytically active TBK1 to the vicinity of cytosolic bacteria.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
