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 (By similarity). Isoform 1 regulates chick apical ectodermal ridge formation. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16258938, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17488271}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16258938}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in cornea. Isoform 1 is expressed in the primitive streak, dorsal neural tube, proximal otic vesicle, the apical ectodermal ridge and the epithelium of feather buds. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:16258938, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17488271}.
