Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable cytokine activity and frizzled binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cold-induced thermogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell surface receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of cell differentiation; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including genitourinary system; integumental system; jaw; nervous system; and surface ectoderm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in obesity; split hand-foot malformation 6; and tooth agenesis. Orthologous to human WNT10B (Wnt family member 10B).
