Description
Product Characteristics: In the mouse, Nkd is a Dishevelled (see DVL1, MIM 601365)-binding protein that functions as a negative regulator of the Wnt (see WNT1, MIM 164820)-beta-catenin (see MIM 116806)-Tcf (see MIM 602272) signaling pathway.
Target Information: 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]
