WDR26WD repeat-containing protein 26 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WDR26 gene.FunctionThis gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by gly-his and trp-asp, which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation.Clinical significancePathogenic variants of the gene cause Skraban–Deardorff syndrome.
