WDR77 WD repeat domain 77

Gene ID: 79084, updated on 11-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: p44; MEP50; MEP-50; HKMT1069; Nbla10071; p44/Mep50

Summary

The protein encoded by this gene is an androgen receptor coactivator that forms a complex with protein arginine methyltransferase 5, which modifies specific arginines to dimethylarginines in several spliceosomal Sm proteins. The encoded protein may be involved in the early stages of prostate cancer, with most of the protein being nuclear-localized in benign cells but cytoplasmic in cancer cells. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
