NWD1 - NACHT and WD repeat domain containing 1 Gene
Species: Homo sapiens
About NWD1
This gene has 12 transcripts (splice variants), 111 orthologues and 26 paralogues. Biased expression in prostate (RPKM 3.7), brain (RPKM 1.6) and 6 other tissues.
Summary
The protein encoded by this gene is thought to be a cytosolic protein and predicted to contain a NACHT domain and multiple WD40 repeats. Increased expression of this gene was observed in some prostate Cancer cell lines. Knocking down expression of this gene results in decreased Androgen Receptor protein levels, indicating that this gene may be important in modulating Androgen Receptor activity. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2016]
