WNT9B - Wnt family member 9B Gene
Also Known as WNT15; WNT14B
Species: Homo sapiens
About WNT9B
This gene has 3 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 222 orthologues, 18 paralogues and is associated with 1 phenotype. Biased expression in kidney (RPKM 1.6), skin (RPKM 0.7) and 9 other tissues.
Summary
The Wnt gene family consists of structurally related genes that encode secreted signaling proteins. These proteins have been implicated in oncogenesis and in several developmental processes, including regulation of cell fate and patterning during embryogenesis. This gene is a member of the Wnt gene family. Study of its expression in the teratocarcinoma cell line NT2 suggests that it may be implicated in the early process of neuronal differentiation of NT2 cells induced by retinoic acid. This gene is clustered with Wnt3, another family member, in the chromosome 17q21 region. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2016]
