NKD2, Official Symbol NKD2provided by HGNC Official Full Name NKD inhibitor of WNT signaling pathway 2provided by HGNC Primary source HGNC:HGNC:17046 See related Ensembl:ENSG00000145506 MIM:607852; AllianceGenome:HGNC:17046 Gene type protein coding RefSeq status REVIEWED Organism Homo sapiens Lineage Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo Also known as Naked2 Summary 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.
