PWAR5
Description
The PWAR5 (Prader Willi/Angelman region RNA 5) is a ncRNA gene located on chromosome 15.
PWAR5 is a gene that encodes a protein with WD40 repeats. These proteins are known for their diverse functions, including cell cycle control, signal transduction, and transcription regulation. PWAR5 is thought to play a role in regulating cell growth and differentiation.
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the WD40 repeat protein family. WD40 repeat proteins have a wide range of functions, including cell cycle control, signal transduction, and transcription regulation. This protein is thought to play a role in the regulation of cell growth and differentiation.
PWAR5 is also known as D15S226E, PAR-5, PAR5.
