Summary: Enables frizzled binding activity and transcription corepressor activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of testosterone biosynthetic process; positive regulation of cellular component biogenesis; and regulation of DNA-templated transcription. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell differentiation; morphogenesis of an epithelium; and negative regulation of signal transduction. Located in cell surface; extracellular matrix; and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Mullerian aplasia and hyperandrogenism. Orthologous to human WNT4 (Wnt family member 4). [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.
