Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables several functions, including enzyme binding activity; frizzled binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Involved in canonical Wnt signaling pathway; heart morphogenesis; and segmentation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; heart morphogenesis; and segment specification. Located in several cellular components, including apical part of cell; clathrin-coated vesicle; and lateral plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and retina. Used to study dextro-looped transposition of the great arteries. Orthologous to human DVL2 (dishevelled segment polarity protein 2).
