Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity and frizzled binding activity. Predicted to be involved in canonical Wnt signaling pathway; cell fate commitment; and neuron differentiation. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of gene expression and positive regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be active in extracellular space.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
