Description
Wingless-type MMIV integration site family member 4 is a secreted protein that in humans is encoded by the Wnt4 gene. By fluorescence in situ hybridization, gene was mapped to chromosome 1p35, a location consistent with the results of radiation hybrid mapping. The WNT gene family consists of structurally related genes that encode secreted signaling proteins. These proteins have been implicated in oncogenesis and in several developmental processes, including regulation of cell fate and embryogenesis
