Summary: The 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 97%, 85%, and 63% amino acid identity with mouse, chicken, and Xenopus Wnt11 protein, respectively. This gene may play roles in the development of skeleton, kidney and lung, and is considered to be a plausible candidate gene for High Bone Mass Syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Investigated the role of Wnt11 in neuroendocrine (NE) differentiation, cell proliferation, and epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Ascl1 plays an important role in regulating the Wnt signaling pathway and is one of the driver molecules of Wnt11 in SCLC. Wnt11 controlled NE differentiation, cell proliferation, and E-cadherin expression under the regulation of Ascl1 in SCLC cell lines.

WNT11 mRNA was present in three different human pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell lines. WNT11 loss affected epithelial-mesenchymal transition, expression of neuronal and stemness biomarkers associated with metastasis. Human biopsies of PDAC showed significantly higher WNT11 mRNA levels compared with matched adjacent tissues. Upregulation of WNT11 expression ultimately worsens patient survival.

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.
