Entrez gene ID | | 11197 |
Official gene symbol | | WIF1 |
Full name | | WNT inhibitory factor 1 |
Aliases | | ,WIF-1, |
Gene summary | | The protein encoded by this gene functions to inhibit WNT proteins, which are extracellular signaling molecules that play a role in embryonic development. This protein contains a WNT inhibitory factor (WIF) domain and five epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains, and is thought to be involved in mesoderm segmentation. This gene functions as a tumor suppressor gene, and has been found to be epigenetically silenced in various cancers. [provided by RefSeq] |
