[Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] 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 multiprotein complexes. Members of this family are involved in a variety of cellular processes, including cell cycle progression, signal transduction, apoptosis, and gene regulation. Mutations in this gene have been associated with adult-onset primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG).

Researchers have inferred, based on phenotypic analysis of mouse mutants, that the gene product of Wdr36
participates in the following biological processes:
Annotations directly to molecular function and cellular component for the gene Wdr36 indicate that MGI curators have found no experimental data [literature] to support further annotation to these categories at this time.
