Gene: NKD2

Alternate names for this Gene: Naked2

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 5

Location in Chromosome : 5p15.33

Description of this Gene: NKD inhibitor of WNT signaling pathway 2

Type of Gene: protein-coding
