ID:WIPI1_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=WD repeat domain phosphoinositide-interacting protein 1; Short=WIPI-1; AltName: Full=Atg18 protein homolog; AltName: Full=WD40 repeat protein interacting with phosphoinositides of 49 kDa; Short=WIPI 49 kDa; FUNCTION: May play a role in autophagy. May regulate the trafficking of proteins involved in the mannose-6-phosphate receptor (MPR) recycling pathway. SUBUNIT: Probably interacts with androgen (AR) and the estrogen receptor (ER). Binds PtdIns3P and to a lesser extent, PtdIns3,5P2 and PtdIns5P in vitro. Interaction with PtdIns3P is required for recruitment to membranes. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Golgi apparatus, trans-Golgi network. Endosome. Cytoplasmic vesicle, clathrin-coated vesicle. Note=Trans elements of the Golgi and peripheral endosomes. Dynamically cycles through these compartments and is susceptible to conditions that modulate membrane flux. Enriched in clathrin-coated vesicles. TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Ubiquitously expressed. Highly expressed in skeletal muscle, heart, testis, pancreas and placenta. Highly expressed in G361, Sk-mel-28, Sk-mel-13, WM852 and WM451 cells. Up-regulated in a variety of tumor tissues. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the WD repeat SVP1 family. SIMILARITY: Contains 3 WD repeats.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
