Also known as: Wnt13
Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity and frizzled binding activity. Involved in forebrain regionalization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including canonical Wnt signaling pathway; mesenchymal-epithelial cell signaling; and regulation of morphogenesis of a branching structure. Predicted to be located in intracellular membrane-bounded organelle. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; reproductive system; sensory organ; and urethra. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in congenital diarrhea. Orthologous to human WNT2B (Wnt family member 2B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Broad expression in ovary adult (RPKM 10.5), adrenal adult (RPKM 7.2) and 23 other tissues See more

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.
