  • D-WASP
Biotype
protein coding gene
Automated Description
Predicted to enable small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including axon development; cytoskeleton organization; and epithelial cell differentiation. Located in several cellular components, including microvillus; neuromuscular junction; and rhabdomere. Part of protein-containing complex. Is expressed in several structures, including adult head; embryonic salivary gland duct; embryonic ventral epidermis; embryonic/larval neuromuscular junction; and epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome; X-linked severe congenital neutropenia; and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to several human genes including WAS (WASP actin nucleation promoting factor).
FB Description
WASp (WASp) encodes the homolog of the conserved Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome family of nucleation promoting factors. It enables the Arp2/3 complex to nucleate polymerization of branched microfilament arrays. It contributes to gastrulation, myoblast fusion, synapse morphology at neuromuscular junctions, sensory organ development, and spermatogenesis.
