Summary: Enables frizzled binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dendritic spine morphogenesis; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and reproductive structure development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blood vessel morphogenesis; central nervous system development; and embryonic limb morphogenesis. Located in cell surface and extracellular matrix. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; embryo ectoderm; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Used to study Fuhrmann syndrome.

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.
