Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable cytokine activity and frizzled binding activity. Involved in several processes, including nematode male tail tip morphogenesis; neuron migration; and positive regulation of cell projection organization. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Expressed in several structures, including P6.pa; P6.pp; anchor cell; rectal epithelial cell; and tail. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Schopf-Schulz-Passarge syndrome; carcinoma (multiple); and split hand-foot malformation 6. Is an ortholog of several human genes including WNT10B (Wnt family member 10B); WNT11 (Wnt family member 11); and WNT9B (Wnt family member 9B).
