WDR5 (WD repeat domain 5)

WDR5 (WD repeat domain 5) is a protein that plays a key role in controlling gene activity. It is part of a group of proteins that modify how DNA is packaged in cells, helping to turn genes on or off as needed. WDR5 is especially important in regulating genes involved in cell growth, development, and differentiation. It interacts with other proteins to form complexes that influence gene expression, and it has also been linked to processes like stem cell function and, in some cases, cancer development. Its proper function is essential for healthy cell regulation and development.
