RSPO3 R-spondin 3

Gene ID: 84870, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PWTSR; THSD2; CRISTIN1

Summary

This gene belongs to the R-spondin family. The encoded protein plays a role in the regulation of Wnt (wingless-type MMTV integration site family)/beta-catenin and Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathways, which are involved in development, cell growth and disease pathogenesis. Genome-wide association studies suggest a correlation of this gene with bone mineral density and risk of fracture. This gene may be involved in tumor development. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2013]
