Primary Identifier | MGI:101948 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 7 | NCBI Gene Number | 22411 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable enzyme activator activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in heart development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including Wnt signaling pathway; circulatory system development; and negative regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in extracellular matrix and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; integumental system; and limb. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in oral squamous cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human WNT11 (Wnt family member 11). PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutation of this gene results in extensive embryonic lethality and mutants surviving to birth die within the first 2 days of life. The kidneys are small and exhibit delayed development. [provided by MGI curators] |
