Summary: Enables receptor tyrosine kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including neuroblast migration; neuron migration; and positive regulation of cellular component movement. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm; extracellular region; and plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including CAN; hypodermal cell; intestine; muscle cell; and somatic nervous system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fuhrmann syndrome; Mullerian aplasia and hyperandrogenism; Schinzel type phocomelia; and congenital diarrhea. Orthologous to several human genes including WNT4 (Wnt family member 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

What's a GeneRIF?

our results strongly suggest that functions of at least four Wnts (lin-44, cwn-1, cwn-2, and egl-20) determine the polarity orientation of seam cells
Title: Multiple Wnts redundantly control polarity orientation in Caenorhabditis elegans epithelial stem cells.
C. elegans Wnt homolog, cwn-1, functions to regulate asymmetric division of the ABpl/rpppa blast cell. Cwn-1 does not act alone in this process, and it functions with another redundant ligand that appears not to be a Wnt.
Title: CWN-1 functions with DSH-2 to regulate C. elegans asymmetric neuroblast division in a beta-catenin independent Wnt pathway.
Src and Wnt signaling regulate dynactin accumulation to the P2-EMS cell border in C. elegans embryos
Title: Src and Wnt signaling regulate dynactin accumulation to the P2-EMS cell border in C. elegans embryos.
CAM-1 interacts with and inhibits Egl-20, CWN-1 and MOM-2 during vulva morphogenesis.
Title: The C. elegans ROR receptor tyrosine kinase, CAM-1, non-autonomously inhibits the Wnt pathway.
Here, too, we found that four of five Wnt receptors can influence P7.p orientation, suggesting that a surprising amount of functional redundancy exists in Wnt signaling during C. elegans vulval induction.
Title: Multiple redundant Wnt signaling components function in two processes during C. elegans vulval development.
