Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables Wnt receptor activity; Wnt-protein binding activity; and frizzled binding activity. Involved in Wnt signaling pathway and nervous system development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including commissural neuron axon guidance; negative chemotaxis; and negative regulation of axon extension involved in axon guidance. Located in cytoplasm; nucleus; and plasma membrane. Is active in glutamatergic synapse; postsynaptic density membrane; and presynaptic active zone membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; hemolymphoid system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human RYK (receptor like tyrosine kinase).
