About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for WFDC8: This gene encodes a member of the WAP-type four-disulfide core (WFDC) domain family. The WFDC domain, or WAP signaturemotif, contains eight cysteines forming four disulfide bonds at the core of the protein, and functions as a proteaseinhibitor. The encoded protein contains a Kunitz-inhibitor domain, in addition to three WFDC domains. Most WFDC genesare localized to chromosome 20q12-q13 in two clusters: centromeric and telomeric. This gene belongs to the telomericcluster. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene, and they encode the sameprotein. (provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008)
