Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionmom-5 encodes one of four C. elegans members of the Frizzled (Fz) family of seven transmembrane receptors; during development, MOM-5 activity is required for asymmetric cell division in the early embryo and during neuronal development, and for attachment of the pharynx to the buccal cavity; MOM-5 is also required for distal tip cell migration in the gonad and for the engulfment of apoptotic cells, indicating that the Wnt pathway signals to CED-10/Rac to regulate cytoskeletal rearrangement during different cellular processes; MOM-5::GFP is enriched at the posterior pole of cells prior to division and during later stages of embryogenesis, is found at the leading edges of epidermal cells during ventral enclosure; in neuroblasts, MOM-5 is required for proper subcellular distribution of DSH-2 to the cortex.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00002870

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable Wnt receptor activity and Wnt-protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic morphogenesis; neuron migration; and regulation of locomotion. Predicted to be located in plasma membrane. Expressed in several structures, including QL.a; anus; gonad; nervous system; and pharynx. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Williams-Beuren syndrome; nonsyndromic congenital nail disorder 1; and omodysplasia 2. Is an ortholog of human FZD1 (frizzled class receptor 1); FZD2 (frizzled class receptor 2); and FZD7 (frizzled class receptor 7).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943
