Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables frizzled binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dendritic spine morphogenesis; modulation of chemical synaptic transmission; and reproductive structure development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including blood vessel morphogenesis; central nervous system development; and embryonic limb morphogenesis. Located in cell surface and extracellular matrix. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; embryo ectoderm; reproductive system; and sensory organ. Used to study Fuhrmann syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Fuhrmann syndrome and Schinzel type phocomelia. Orthologous to human WNT7A (Wnt family member 7A).
