Wnt7b Gene Summary [Rat]
Predicted to enable chemoattractant activity involved in axon guidance and frizzled binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of JNK cascade; regulation of cell projection size; and response to glucocorticoid. Located in extracellular space. Orthologous to human WNT7B (Wnt family member 7B). [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 rat Wnt7b often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
