Wnt9b Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable co-receptor binding activity; cytokine activity; and frizzled binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Wnt signaling pathway; midbrain dopaminergic neuron differentiation; and negative regulation of stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; kidney development; and reproductive structure development. Predicted to be active in extracellular space. Orthologous to human WNT9B (Wnt family member 9B). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 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 rat Wnt9b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
