Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Probable developmental protein. Signaling by Wnt-7a allows sexually dimorphic development of the mullerian ducts (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix.

Disease Associations

Limb pelvis hypoplasia aplasia syndrome (LPHAS) [MIM:276820]: A syndrome of severe deficiency of the extremities due to hypo- or aplasia of one or more long bones of one or more limbs. Pelvic manifestations include hip dislocation, hypoplastic iliac bone and aplastic pubic bones. Thoracic deformity, unusual facies and genitourinary anomalies can be present. {ECO:0000269PubMed:16826533, ECO:0000269PubMed:17431918, ECO:0000269PubMed:20949531, ECO:0000269PubMed:21271649}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Fuhrmann syndrome (FUHRS) [MIM:228930]: Distinct limb- malformation disorder characterized also by various degrees of limb aplasia/hypoplasia and joint dysplasia. {ECO:0000269PubMed:16826533}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Expression is restricted to placenta, kidney, testis, uterus, fetal lung, and fetal and adult brain.
