About NKD2

Cytogenetic location: 5p15.33 Genomic coordinates (GRCh38): 5:1,008,802-1,038,943 (from NCBI)

This gene has 5 transcripts (splice variants), 1 gene allele, 194 orthologues and 1 paralogue. Broad expression in lung (RPKM 6.0), skin (RPKM 2.9) and 15 other tissues.

Summary

This gene encodes a member of a family of proteins that function as negative regulators of Wnt receptor signaling through interaction with Dishevelled family members. The encoded protein participates in the delivery of transforming growth factor alpha-containing vesicles to the cell membrane. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding multiple isoforms have been observed for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2012]
