Predicted to enable ubiquitin conjugating enzyme activity. Involved in protein ubiquitination. Predicted to be located in nucleus. Expressed in germ line and oocyte. Is an ortholog of human UBE2W (ubiquitin conjugating enzyme E2 W).
Predicted to enable glucosaminyl-phosphatidylinositol O-acyltransferase activity. Predicted to be involved in GPI anchor biosynthetic process and protein localization to plasma membrane. Predicted to be located in endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Predicted to be integral component of membrane. Is an ortholog of human PIGW (phosphatidylinositol glycan anchor biosynthesis class W).
white (w) encodes a member of the ABCG2 class of transporters, transporting molecules such as cyclic GMP, biogenic amines and pigments including drosopterins and ommochromes. Mutation of w results in viable flies with white eyes. A shortened version of the gene (mini-w) has been widely used in transformation constructs as a selectable marker.
This gene encodes a member of the neuropeptide B/W family of proteins and preproprotein that is proteolytically processed to generate multiple protein products. The encoded products include neuropeptide B-23 and a C-terminally extended form, neuropeptide B-29, which are characterized by an N-terminal brominated tryptophan amino acid. Both of the encoded peptides bind with higher affinity to neuropeptide B/W (NPB/W) receptor 1 compared to the related NPB/W receptor 2. These peptides may regulate feeding, pain perception, and stress in rodents. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2015]
brown (bw) encodes a member of the traffic ATPase (or ABC) family of membrane transporters. It is believed to heterodimerize with the product of w. bw and w are necessary to import guanine, a precursor for the red pteridine pigments, into pigment cells of the eyes, Malpighian tubules and testis sheath.
Kinetochore localized protein of unknown function; interacts with Cnn1p (CENP-T); orthologous to human centromere constitutive-associated network (CCAN) subunit CENP-W and fission yeast new1
Predicted to enable antioxidant activity. Involved in response to selenium ion. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Orthologous to human SELENOW (selenoprotein W); INTERACTS WITH 1-naphthyl isothiocyanate; 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine; 2,4-dinitrotoluene.
Enables G protein-coupled receptor binding activity. Involved in G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Orthologous to human NPW (neuropeptide W); INTERACTS WITH 1-naphthyl isothiocyanate; 2,3,7,8-tetrachlorodibenzodioxine; 6-propyl-2-thiouracil.
This gene encodes a member of the P(I/L)W subfamily of mitochondrial carrier family transport proteins. The encoded protein transports folate across the inner mitochondrial membrane. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013]
