WFDC13


Description

The WFDC13 (WAP four-disulfide core domain 13) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 20.

WFDC13 is a gene that encodes a protein with four disulfide core domains, similar to the whey acidic protein (WAP) family. It's predicted to function as a proteinase inhibitor, particularly in acidic environments.

This protein is thought to be an acid-stable proteinase inhibitor, meaning it can block the activity of certain enzymes (proteinases) in acidic environments.

WFDC13 is also known as C20orf138, WAP13, dJ601O1.3.
