Summary: Predicted to enable cytokine activity and frizzled binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; negative regulation of chondrocyte differentiation; and positive regulation of smoothened signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; craniocervical region bone; limb; reproductive system; and urethra. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pancreatic cancer. Orthologous to human WNT9A (Wnt family member 9A). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

Tubular cells of several mouse models of chronic kidney disease expressed high levels of Wnt9a that colocalized with the senescence-related protein p16(INK4A). Ectopic expression of Wnt9a after ischemia-reperfusion injury induced beta-catenin activation and exacerbated renal fibrosis. This was inhibited by shRNA.

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.
