WAS (WASP actin nucleation promoting factor)

Gene

• Entrez ID: 7454
• Gene name: WASP actin nucleation promoting factor
• Gene symbol: WAS
• Synonyms: IMD2, SCNX, THC, THC1, WASP, WASPA
• Chromosome: X
• Chromosome location: Xp11.23
• Summary: The Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) family of proteins share similar domain structure, and are involved in transduction of signals from receptors on the cell surface to the actin cytoskeleton. The presence of a number of different motifs suggests that the
