Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity and frizzled binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including ectodermal placode formation; nervous system development; and sensory epithelium regeneration. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior neural rod; brain; midbrain hindbrain boundary neural keel; midbrain hindbrain boundary neural rod; and neural plate. 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, Nov 2024]

What's a GeneRIF?

these results revealed that wnt8b and fzd3a act in the same genetic pathway to pattern the commissural plate, thereby indirectly regulating the crossing of axons across the rostral midline in the embryonic forebrain of zebrafish.

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.
