ID:WNT3_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Proto-oncogene Wnt-3; AltName: Full=Proto-oncogene Int-4 homolog; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Wnt-3 and Wnt-3a play distinct roles in cell-cell signaling during morphogenesis of the developing neural tube (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Interacts with PORCN (By similarity). Interacts with WLS (By similarity). SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix. PTM: Palmitoylation at Ser-212 is required for efficient binding to frizzled receptors. It is also required for subsequent palmitoylation at Cys-80. Palmitoylation is necessary for proper trafficking to cell surface (By similarity). DISEASE: Defects in WNT3 are the cause of autosomal recessive tetra-amelia (ARTTRA) [MIM:273395]. Tetra-amelia is a rare human genetic disorder characterized by complete absence of all four limbs and other anomalies such as craniofacial, nervous system, pulmonary, skeletal and urogenital defects. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the Wnt family. WEB RESOURCE: Name=GeneReviews; URL="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/GeneTests/lab/gene/WNT3";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
