Also known as
Wnt-5b
Summary
Enables signaling receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway and positive regulation of fat cell differentiation. Located in cell surface and extracellular matrix. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; limb; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human WNT5B (Wnt family member 5B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, May 2025]
Expression
Ubiquitous expression in ovary adult (RPKM 4.7), limb E14.5 (RPKM 3.9) and 25 other tissues See more

    Title: Wnt signaling contributes to withdrawal symptoms from opioid receptor activation induced by morphine exposure or chronic inflammation.
  2. Results found that WNT-5B expression level is enhanced in ageing mice. WNT-5B repress the growth of lung organoid co-cultures of fibroblasts and epithelial progenitors, and preferentially restraining both the growth and differentiation of the alveolar epithelial progenitors. These results provide evidence that WNT-5B, along with WNT-5A negatively regulate the canonical WNT signaling pathway in alveolar epithelium.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
