Scientific Background: WIPI-4 is a 360 amino acid protein containing three WD repeats. Existing as three alternatively spliced isoforms, WIPI-4 is ubiquitously expressed but found at highest levels in heart and skeletal muscle. WD repeat proteins are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. Diseases associated with this gene include neurodegeneration with brain iron accululation 5 and 4.
