WIF1
geneOn this page
Summary
WIF1 (Wnt inhibitory factor 1, HGNC:18081) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 12q14.3, encoding Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (Q9Y5W5). Binds to WNT proteins and inhibits their activities.
The protein encoded by this gene functions to inhibit WNT proteins, which are extracellular signaling molecules that play a role in embryonic development. This protein contains a WNT inhibitory factor (WIF) domain and five epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains, and is thought to be involved in mesoderm segmentation. This gene functions as a tumor suppressor gene, and has been found to be epigenetically silenced in various cancers.
