WFDC2 wt Allele
Human WFDC2 wild-type allele is located within 20q12-q13.2 and is approximately 12 kb in length. This allele, which encodes WAP four-disulfide core domain protein 2, is putatively involved in the innate immune response of the lung, nasal and oral epithelia. WFDC2 gene expression is up-regulated in certain cancers such as lung adenocarcinomas, pancreatic carcinomas and ovarian serous carcinomas. (NCI Thesaurus)
