Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity and frizzled binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including canonical Wnt signaling pathway; neuron differentiation; and secondary palate development. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including axis specification; endoderm development; and regulation of protein localization. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human WNT8A (Wnt family member 8A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

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.
