Primary Identifier | MGI:1888513 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 57265 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables Wnt receptor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including hard palate development; heart morphogenesis; and inner ear development. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; heart and pericardium; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in omodysplasia 2. Orthologous to human FZD2 (frizzled class receptor 2). PHENOTYPE: About 50% of mice homozygous for a reporter allele display a cleft palate and die as neonates; the remaining 50% survive exhibiting a variable degree of postnatal runting and reduced olfactory sensitivity to various odorants.
