WDR26 - WD repeat domain 26
Function
G-beta-like protein involved in cell signal transduction (PubMed:15378603, PubMed:19446606, PubMed:22065575, PubMed:23625927, PubMed:27098453, PubMed:26895380). Acts as a negative regulator in MAPK signaling pathway (PubMed:15378603). Functions as a scaffolding protein to promote G beta:gamma-mediated PLCB2 plasma membrane translocation and subsequent activation in leukocytes (PubMed:22065575, PubMed:23625927). Core component of the CTLH E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex that selectively accepts ubiquitin from UBE2H and mediates ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of the transcription factor HBP1 (PubMed:29911972). Acts as a negative regulator of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway through preventing ubiquitination of beta-catenin CTNNB1 by the beta-catenin destruction complex, thus negatively regulating CTNNB1 degradation (PubMed:27098453). Serves as a scaffold to coordinate PI3K/AKT pathway-driven cell growth and migration (PubMed:26895380). Protects cells from oxidative stress-induced apoptosis via the down-regulation of AP-1 transcriptional activity as well as by inhibiting cytochrome c release from mitochondria (PubMed:19446606). Protects also cells by promoting hypoxia-mediated autophagy and mitophagy (By similarity).
