Summary
WNT2 (Wnt family member 2, HGNC:12780) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 7q31.2, encoding Protein Wnt-2 (P09544). Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors.
This gene is a member of the WNT gene family. The WNT gene family consists of structurally related genes which encode secreted signaling proteins. These proteins have been implicated in oncogenesis and in several developmental processes, including regulation of cell fate and patterning during embryogenesis. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been identified for this gene.

Function. Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Functions in the canonical Wnt signaling pathway that results in activation of transcription factors of the TCF/LEF family. Functions as a upstream regulator of FGF10 expression. Plays an important role in embryonic lung development. May contribute to embryonic brain development by regulating the proliferation of dopaminergic precursors and neurons.
Subcellular location. Secreted. Extracellular space. Extracellular matrix.
Tissue specificity. Expressed in brain in the thalamus, in fetal and adult lung and in placenta.
Post-translational modifications. Palmitoleoylation is required for efficient binding to frizzled receptors. Depalmitoleoylation leads to Wnt signaling pathway inhibition.
Similarity. Belongs to the Wnt family.
