Summary: Predicted to enable Wnt-protein binding activity; activin receptor binding activity; and nodal binding activity. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of fat cell differentiation. Predicted to be active in cell surface and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; limb; nervous system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; renal cell carcinoma; and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human WIF1 (WNT inhibitory factor 1).

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.
