Summary: Enables several functions, including beta-catenin binding activity; delta-catenin binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Involved in several processes, including epithelial cell morphogenesis; inner medullary collecting duct development; and negative regulation of nodal signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within hematopoietic progenitor cell differentiation. Located in mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and umbilical vein. Orthologous to human DACT2 (dishevelled binding antagonist of beta catenin 2). [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.
