| Function: | Functions as a negative regulator of the PI3 kinase/PI3K activity associated with endosomal membranes via BECN1, a core subunit of the PI3K complex. By modifying the phosphatidylinositol 3- phosphate/PtdInsP3 content of endosomal membranes may regulate endosome fusion, recycling, sorting and early to late endosome transport (PubMed:26783301). It is for instance, required for the delivery of cargos like BST2/tetherin from early to late endosome and thereby participates indirectly to their degradation by the lysosome (PubMed:27126989). May play a role in meiosis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q7TMQ7, ECO:0000269|PubMed:26783301, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27126989}. | |
| Subunit: | Interacts with WDR81; involved in early to late endosome cargo transport (PubMed:26783301, PubMed:27126989). Interacts with BECN1; negatively regulates the PI3 kinase/PI3K activity associated with endosomal membranes (PubMed:26783301). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26783301, ECO:0000269|PubMed:27126989}. | |
| Subcellular location: | Early endosome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26783301}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26783301}. Late endosome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:26783301, ECO:0000269|PubMed:28404643}. | |
| Similarity: | Belongs to the WD repeat WDR91 family. {ECO:0000305}. | |
| Sequence caution: | Sequence=AAF29021.1; Type=Frameshift; Evidence={ECO:0000305}; | |
