Gene information for WNT5B (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID81029
Official gene symbolWNT5B
Full namewingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 5B
Aliases,MGC2648,
Gene summaryThe WNT gene family consists of structurally related genes which 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. It encodes a protein which shows 94% and 80% amino acid identity to the mouse Wnt5b protein and the human WNT5A protein, respectively. Alternative splicing of this gene generates 2 transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq]
