Enriched in several structures, including ABalapapap; ABalapppap; excretory cell; head mesodermal cell; and neurons based on microarray; tiling array; RNA-seq; and single-cell RNA-seq studies. Is affected by several genes including
daf-12;
hsf-1; and
sir-2.1 based on microarray; tiling array; and RNA-seq studies. Is affected by four chemicals including rotenone; stavudine; and fluvastatin based on RNA-seq and microarray studies. Human WDR44 enables molecular sequestering activity and small GTPase binding activity. Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: WD repeat-containing protein WDR44/Dgr2; WD domain, G-beta repeat; WD40-repeat-containing domain superfamily; WD40/YVTN repeat-like-containing domain superfamily; WD40 repeat; and Phosphorylation site. Is an ortholog of human WDR44 (WD repeat domain 44).
