Protein
Proteins are biochemical compounds consisting of one or more polypeptides typically folded into a globular or fibrous form, facilitating a biological function. A polypeptide is a single linear polymer chain of amino acids bonded together by peptide bonds between the carboxyl and amino groups of...

Gene
A gene is a molecular unit of heredity of a living organism. It is a name given to some stretches of DNA and RNA that code for a type of protein or for an RNA chain that has a function in the organism. Living beings depend on genes, as they specify all proteins and functional RNA chains...

Interactions
WIPF1 has been shown to interactProtein-protein interaction
Protein–protein interactions occur when two or more proteins bind together, often to carry out their biological function. Many of the most important molecular processes in the cell such as DNA replication are carried out by large molecular machines that are built from a large number of protein...
with Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein
The Wiskott–Aldrich Syndrome Protein is a 502-amino acid protein that is expressed in cells of the hematopoietic system. In the inactive state, WASp exists in an auto-inhibited conformation with sequences near its C-terminus binding to a region near its N-terminus...
, Cortactin
Cortactin
Cortactin is a monomeric protein located in the cytoplasm of cells that can be activated by external stimuli to promote polymerization and rearrangement of the actin cytoskeleton, especially the actin cortex around the cellular periphery. It is present in all cell types...

NCK1
Cytoplasmic protein NCK1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NCK1 gene.-Interactions:NCK1 has been shown to interact with DNM1, EIF2B2, KHDRBS1, Lymphocyte cytosolic protein 2, EPH receptor B1, SOCS7, MINK1, MAP4K1, MAP4K4, Abl gene, WIPF1, RRAS, Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein,...
