Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity and frizzled binding activity. Acts upstream of or within hepatocyte proliferation and swim bladder development. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including nervous system; optic cup; optic vesicle; otic vesicle; and swim bladder bud. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast carcinoma; hepatocellular carcinoma; and urinary system cancer. Orthologous to human WNT2 (Wnt family member 2).

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.
