|
| Function |
Required for normal ciliary development and function. Inhibits disheveled-1-induced canonical Wnt-signaling activity and may also play a role in the control of non-canonical Wnt signaling which regulates planar cell polarity. Probably acts as a molecular switch between different Wnt signaling pathways. Required for proper convergent extension cell movements. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18371931}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cell projection, cilium {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20462968, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22085962}. Note=Localization to cilium is mediated via interaction with UNC119 and UNC119B, which bind to the myristoyl moiety of the N- terminus.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed at low level. Expressed in heart, placenta, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Expressed at very low level in brain and lung. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12872122}.
