    Summary
    Predicted to enable co-receptor binding activity and receptor antagonist activity. Acts upstream of or within Wnt signaling pathway and negative regulation of hair follicle placode formation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DKK4 (dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    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.
