Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables Wnt receptor activity and Wnt-protein binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cell-substrate adhesion. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Wnt signaling pathway; skeletal muscle satellite cell maintenance involved in skeletal muscle regeneration; and substrate adhesion-dependent cell spreading. Located in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FZD7 (frizzled class receptor 7). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a null allele exhibit a shorter tail with a distal kink with full penetrance as well as cardiac defects with low penetrance. [provided by MGI curators] |
