About WTAP

Cytogenetic location: 6q25.3 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 6:159,726,693-159,756,319 (from NCBI)

This gene has 8 transcripts (splice variants) and 212 orthologues. Ubiquitous expression in bone marrow (RPKM 44.8), lymph node (RPKM 20.4) and 25 other tissues.

Summary

The Wilms tumor suppressor gene WT1 appears to play a role in both transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation of certain cellular genes. This gene encodes a WT1-associating protein, which is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein. Like WT1 protein, this protein is localized throughout the nucleoplasm as well as in speckles and partially colocalizes with splicing factors. Alternative splicing of this gene results in several transcript variants encoding three different isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2012]
