Notum Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables lipase activity; palmitoleyl hydrolase activity; and protein-containing complex destabilizing activity. Involved in negative regulation of Wnt signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within bone development; negative regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway; and regulation of bone mineralization. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including foregut; genitourinary system; primitive streak; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human NOTUM (notum, palmitoleoyl-protein carboxylesterase). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Notum often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
