WDR72

Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a protein with eight WD-40 repeats. Mutations in this gene have been associated with amelogenesis imperfecta hypomaturation type 2A3. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013].
UniProt Summary: Plays a major role in formation of tooth enamel (PubMed:19853237, PubMed:25008349). Specifically required during the maturation phase of amelogenesis for normal formation of the enamel matrix and clearance of enamel proteins. May be involved in localization of the calcium transporter SLC24A4 to the ameloblast cell membrane. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:D3YYM4, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19853237, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25008349}.
