Wdr62 - WD repeat domain 62 Gene

Also known as b2b1508Clo; 2310038K02Rik

About Wdr62

Summary

Predicted to be involved in several processes, including microtubule Cytoskeleton organization; nervous system development; and positive regulation of neuron migration. Predicted to act upstream of or within neuronal stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to be located in centriolar satellite and cytosol. Predicted to be active in nucleus and spindle pole. 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, Apr 2022]
