✦AI Summary

Based on limited published evidence, LOC124908094 encodes the functional WASH1 protein, a core component of the WASH complex that regulates actin dynamics at endosomes 1. The gene was recently identified in the T2T-CHM13 reference assembly within a subtelomeric region previously absent from GRCh38 12. Unlike the previously annotated WASHC1 gene, LOC124908094 demonstrates abundant proteomics support and cDNA evidence for coding status 2. The WASH complex activates Arp2/3 to initiate branched actin networks essential for developmental processes 1.
