Short description: Protein-coding gene in the species Danio rerio

WDR23 also known as Dcaf11 (Ddb1- and Cul4-associated factor 11) is a WD40 repeat protein, containing seven repeats of the closed circular solenoid protein domain WD40.[1] The WDR23 locus is highly conserved from C. elegans to humans.[2] DCAF11/WDR23 is the E3 ligase that specifically targets proteins for degradation via ubiquitination.[3][4][5] WDR-23 exists in two spatially distinct isoforms produced by alternative splicing, a cytoplasmic WDR-23A and nuclear WDR-23B. Nuclear and cytoplasmic versions of WDR-23 have distinct roles.[6]
