Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity and frizzled binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of gene expression and positive regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including cochlea; eye; future brain; head mesenchyme; and nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Hirschsprung's disease. Orthologous to human WNT8B (Wnt family member 8B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
