| Primary Identifier | MGI:892032 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 2 | NCBI Gene Number | 20378 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0) Enables Wnt-protein binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of Wnt signaling pathway; neural crest cell differentiation; and somite development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cochlea morphogenesis; negative regulation of cartilage development; and negative regulation of cell differentiation. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lung non-small cell carcinoma and osteoarthritis. Orthologous to human FRZB (frizzled related protein). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for one null allele display defects in motor coordination and capability and a decrease in thermal pain sensation. Mice homozygous for another null allele display enhanced reactive bone formation and cortical bone abnormalities. [provided by MGI curators] |
