DCAF12L2（DDB1 and CUL4 associated factor 12 like 2），癌症关联基因，基因ID：340578，这个基因编码WD重复蛋白家族的一个成员。WD重复是由Gly His和Trp ASP（GH-WD）包围的大约40个氨基酸的最小保守区域，这可能促进异源三聚体或多蛋白复合物的形成。该家族成员参与多种细胞过程，包括细胞周期进程、信号转导、凋亡和基因调控这个基因似乎代表了位于9号染色体上的一个相关的多外显子基因的无内含子的反转录。然而，这个无内含子基因的cds保持完整，它在其他哺乳动物物种中是保守的，它被认为是转录的，因此它被认为编码一种功能蛋白。[由RefSeq提供，2010年5月]This gene encodes a member of the WD repeat protein family. WD repeats are minimally conserved regions of approximately 40 amino acids typically bracketed by Gly-His and Trp-Asp (GH-WD)， which may facilitate formation of heterotrimeric or multi-protein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes， including cell cycle progression， signal transduction， apoptosis， and gene regulation. This gene appears to represent an intronless retrocopy of a related multi-exon gene located on chromosome 9. However， the CDS of this intronless gene remains intact， it is conserved in other mammalian species， it i。
