Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable co-receptor binding activity and receptor antagonist activity. Acts upstream of or within Wnt signaling pathway and negative regulation of hair follicle placode formation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DKK4 (dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 4). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a conditional ready allele are phenotypically normal. [provided by MGI curators] |
