Function |
Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Probable developmental protein. May be a signaling molecule which affects the development of discrete regions of tissues. Is likely to signal over only few cell diameters.
|
Subcellular Location |
Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in brain in the thalamus, in fetal and adult lung and in placenta. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11449391}.
