Gene Summary

Enables phosphatidylinositol-3,5-bisphosphate binding activity; phosphatidylinositol-3-phosphate binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol-4-phosphate binding activity. Involved in several processes, including autophagy of mitochondrion; cytoplasm to vacuole targeting by the Cvt pathway; and macroautophagy. Located in several cellular components, including endosome; fungal-type vacuole membrane; and phagophore assembly site. Orthologous to human WIPI1 (WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 1) and WIPI2 (WD repeat domain, phosphoinositide interacting 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jun 2025]
