Gene: WNT2B

Alternate names for this Gene: WNT13

Gene Summary: 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 1

Location in Chromosome : 1p13.2

Description of this Gene: Wnt family member 2B

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: ST7L

Alternate names for this Gene: FAM4B|ST7R|STLR

Gene Summary: This gene was identified by its similarity to the ST7 tumor suppressor gene found in the chromosome 7q31 region. This gene is clustered in a tail-to-tail manner with the WNT2B gene in a chromosomal region known to be deleted and rearranged in a variety of cancers. Several transcript variants encoding many different isoforms have been described, but some have not been fully characterized.
