Also known as XWNT2
Summary
WNT2B (Wnt family member 2B, HGNC:12781) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 1p13.2, encoding Protein Wnt-2b (Q93097). Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors.
This gene encodes a member of the wingless-type MMTV integration site (WNT) family of highly conserved, secreted signaling factors. WNT family members function in a variety of developmental processes including regulation of cell growth and differentiation and are characterized by a WNT-core domain. This gene may play a role in human development as well as carcinogenesis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Functions in the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. Plays a redundant role in embryonic lung development.
Subunit / interactions. Forms a soluble 1:1 complex with AFM; this prevents oligomerization and is required for prolonged biological activity. The complex with AFM may represent the physiological form in body fluids. Interacts with FZD4 and FZD5.
Subcellular location. Secreted. Extracellular space. Extracellular matrix.
Tissue specificity. Isoform 1 is expressed in adult heart, brain, placenta, lung, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine and colon. In the adult brain, it is mainly found in the caudate nucleus, subthalamic nucleus and thalamus. Also detected in fetal brain, lung and kidney. Isoform 2 is expressed in fetal brain, fetal lung, fetal kidney, caudate nucleus, testis and cancer cell lines.
Post-translational modifications. Palmitoleoylation is required for efficient binding to frizzled receptors. Depalmitoleoylation leads to Wnt signaling pathway inhibition.
Disease relevance. Diarrhea 9 (DIAR9) [MIM:618168] An autosomal recessive form of chronic diarrhea characterized by neonatal-onset of osmotic diarrhea that is not substrate specific, abnormal crypt and villus architecture, and significant fat malabsorption evidenced by high levels of fecal fat. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Similarity. Belongs to the Wnt family.
