Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables delta-catenin binding activity; protein kinase A binding activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Involved in embryonic hindgut morphogenesis; regulation of postsynapse organization; and regulation of signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including dendrite morphogenesis; negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; and positive regulation of fat cell differentiation. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; cardiovascular system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; and genitourinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Townes-Brocks syndrome. Orthologous to human DACT1 (dishevelled binding antagonist of beta catenin 1).
