Scientific Background: WASP is a member of the Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome (WAS) family of proteins. It is a cytoplasmic protein expressed exclusively in hematopoietic cells. WASP transduces signals from surface receptors to the actin cytoskeleton. It associates with the small GTPase, Cdc42, to regulate formation of actin filaments, and the cytoskeletal organizing complex, Arp2/3. It is mutated in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome,which is a rare, inherited, X-linked, recessive disease characterized by immune dysregulation and microthrombocytopenia.
