Nkd2 - naked cuticle 2 Gene

Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity; growth factor binding activity; and Myosin heavy chain binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Golgi vesicle fusion to target membrane; positive regulation of protein localization to plasma membrane; and positive regulation of proteolysis. Predicted to act upstream of or within Wnt signaling pathway and exocytosis. Predicted to be located in basolateral plasma membrane; exocytic vesicle; and lateral plasma membrane. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; nasal cavity epithelium; paraxial mesenchyme; and reproductive system. Orthologous to human NKD2 (NKD inhibitor of Wnt signaling pathway 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
