WNT2B

Also known as WNT13, Wnt family member 2B

Protein Wnt-2b (formerly Wnt13) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WNT2B gene.

Gene data

WNT2B

Name: Wnt family member 2B
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: WNT13

This gene encodes a member of the wingless-type MMTV integration site (WNT) family of highly conserved, secreted signaling factors. WNT family members function in a variety of developmental processes including regulation of cell growth and differentiation and are characterized by a WNT-core domain. This gene may play a role in human development as well as carcinogenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014].

Protein Wnt-2b (formerly Wnt13) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WNT2B gene.

This gene encodes a member of the wingless-type MMTV integration site (WNT) family of highly conserved, secreted signaling factors. WNT family members function in a variety of developmental processes including regulation of cell growth and differentiation and are characterized by a WNT-core domain. This gene may play a role in human development as well as human carcinogenesis. This gene produces two alternative transcript variants.
