Summary: Predicted to be involved in several processes, including centriole replication; nervous system development; and positive regulation of neuroblast proliferation. Predicted to act upstream of or within mitotic spindle organization and neuronal stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to be located in cytosol; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleus. Predicted to be active in mitotic spindle. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; future brain; limb bud; nasal process; and trunk somite. Used to study primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 2 with or without cortical malformations. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intellectual disability; polymicrogyria; primary autosomal recessive microcephaly; and primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 2 with or without cortical malformations. Orthologous to human WDR62 (WD repeat domain 62). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Study in mutant mice and human cerebral organoids showed that WDR62 deletion resulted in a reduction in the size of mouse brains and organoids due to the disruption of neural progenitor cells. WDR62 interacts with and promotes CEP170 localization to the basal body of primary cilium, where CEP170 recruits KIF2A to disassemble cilium.

Wdr62 is involved in meiotic initiation via activating JNK signaling, which displays a novel mechanism for regulating meiotic initiation, and mutation of WDR62 is one of the potential etiologies of premature ovarian insufficiency in humans.

Our findings demonstrate critical and diverse functions of WDR62 in neocortical development and provide insight into the mechanisms by which its disruption leads to a plethora of structural abnormalities.

Aspm and Wdr62 interact genetically to control brain size, with mice lacking Wdr62, Aspm, or both showing gene dose-related centriole duplication defects that parallel the severity of the microcephaly and increased ectopic basal progenitors, suggesting premature delamination from the ventricular zone.

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.
