Function

Cell autonomous antagonist of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. May activate a second Wnt signaling pathway that controls planar cell polarity. Required for processing of TGFA and for targeting of TGFA to the basolateral membrane of polarized epithelial cells (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasmic vesicle {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in the cecum, colon, esophagus, ileum, jejunum, skin and stomach. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11356022, ECO:0000269PubMed:15064403, ECO:0000269PubMed:15546883}.
