WNT基因家族由编码分泌信号蛋白的结构相关基因组成这些蛋白与肿瘤发生和一些发育过程有关，包括在胚胎发生过程中调节细胞命运和模式。这个基因是wnt基因家族的一员。在宫颈癌细胞系中高表达，在大肠癌细胞系中与另一个家族成员WNT10A强共表达基因的过度表达可能在肿瘤发生中起关键作用。该基因和WNT10A基因聚在染色体2q35区该基因编码的蛋白质在氨基酸水平上与小鼠wnt6蛋白的一致性为97%。[由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]The WNT gene family consists of structurally related genes which encode secreted signaling proteins. These proteins have been implicated in oncogenesis and in several developmental processes, including regulation of cell fate and patterning during embryogenesis. This gene is a member of the WNT gene family. It is overexpressed in cervical cancer cell line and strongly coexpressed with another family member, WNT10A, in colorectal cancer cell line. The gene overexpression may play key roles in carcinogenesis. This gene and the WNT10A gene are clustered in the chromosome 2q35 region. The protein encoded by this gene is 97% identical to the mouse Wnt6 protein at the amino acid level. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
