Gene information for PORCN (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID64840
Official gene symbolPORCN
Full nameporcupine homolog (Drosophila)
Aliases,DHOF,FODH,MG61,MGC29687,PORC,PPN,por,
Gene summaryThis gene belongs to the evolutionarily conserved porcupine (Porc) gene family. Genes of the Porc family encode endoplasmic reticulum proteins with multiple transmembrane domains. Porcupine proteins are involved in the processing of Wnt (wingless and int homologue) proteins. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been observed.
