WNT7A Polyclonal Antibody

disease:Defects in WNT7A are a cause of Fuhrmann syndrome [MIM:228930]; also called fibular aplasia or hypoplasia femoral bowing and poly- syn- and oligodactyly. Fuhrmann syndrome is a distinct limb-malformation disorder characterized also by various degrees of limb aplasia/hypoplasia and joint dysplasia.,disease:Defects in WNT7A are the cause of limb/pelvis-hypoplasia/aplasia syndrome (LPHAS) [MIM:276820]; also called absence of ulna and fibula with severe limb deficiency. LPHAS is a limb-malformation disorder characterized by various degrees of limb aplasia/hypoplasia and joint dysplasia.,function:Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Probable developmental protein. Signaling by Wnt-7a allows sexually dimorphic development of the mullerian ducts.,similarity:Belongs to the Wnt family.,subunit:Interacts with PORCN.,tissue specificity:Expression is restricted to placenta, kidney, testis, uterus, fetal lung, and fetal and adult brain.,
