WAS/WASL-interacting protein family member 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WIPF1 gene.[1][2]

This gene encodes a protein that plays an important role in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. The encoded protein binds to a region of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein that is frequently mutated in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, an X-linked recessive disorder. Impairment of the interaction between these two proteins may contribute to the disease. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene.[2]

Interactions

WIPF1 has been shown to interact with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein,[1][3] Cortactin[4] and NCK1.[3]
