Summary
Predicted to enable cytokine activity and frizzled binding activity. Acts upstream of or within bone remodeling and cardiac epithelial to mesenchymal transition. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; heart; and limb. Orthologous to human WNT16 (Wnt family member 16). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
Expression
Biased expression in ovary adult (RPKM 2.9), subcutaneous fat pad adult (RPKM 1.0) and 3 other tissues See more

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.
