Gene: WNT7B

Alternate names for this Gene: -

Gene Summary: This gene is a member of the WNT gene family, which consists of structurally related genes that 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. Among members of the human WNT family, this gene product is most similar to WNT7A protein.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 22

Location in Chromosome : 22q13.31

Description of this Gene: Wnt family member 7B

Type of Gene: protein-coding
