Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity; frizzled binding activity; and protein domain specific binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including limb bud formation; midbrain dopaminergic neuron differentiation; and positive regulation of osteoblast differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including axis specification; embryonic morphogenesis; and regulation of extent of cell growth. Predicted to be located in extracellular matrix. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in tetraamelia syndrome 1.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
