WDCP wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human WDCP wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of 2p23.3 and is approximately 20 kb in length. This allele, which encodes WD repeat and coiled-coil-containing protein, is involved in binding to tyrosine-protein kinase HCK. A tandem duplication that fuses this gene and the ALK gene may be associated with colorectal cancer.
