Is predicted to encode a protein with the following domains: Translation initiation factor, beta propellor-like domain; Eukaryotic translation initiation factor eIF2A; G-protein beta WD-40 repeat; WD40/YVTN repeat-like-containing domain superfamily; WD40 repeat; WD domain, G-beta repeat; and WD40-repeat-containing domain superfamily. Is an ortholog of C. elegans
wdr-62;
wdr-5.3; and
wdr-5.2. In C. elegans,
wdr-5.1 is involved in determination of adult lifespan; programmed cell death; and transdifferentiation.
