General annotation (Comments)

Function

Involved in the control of early morphogenesis and patterning of both axial midline structures and the development of neural plate. Plays a role in the regulation of planar cell polarity, particularly in the orientation of stereociliary bundles in the cochlea. Required for polarization and movement of myocardializing cells in the outflow tract and seems to act via RHOA signaling to regulate this process By similarity.

Subunit structure

Interacts through its C-terminal region with the N-terminal half of DVL1, DVL2 and DVL3. The PDZ domain of DVL1, DVL2 and DVL3 is required for the interaction. Also interacts with the PDZ domains of MAGI3, SCRIB/SCRB1 and FZD3 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein Potential.

Involvement in disease

Neural tube defects (NTD) [MIM:182940]: Congenital malformations of the central nervous system and adjacent structures related to defective neural tube closure during the first trimester of pregnancy. Failure of neural tube closure can occur at any level of the embryonic axis. Common NTD forms include anencephaly, myelomeningocele and spina bifida, which result from the failure of fusion in the cranial and spinal region of the neural tube. NTDs have a multifactorial etiology encompassing both genetic and environmental components.
Note: The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. Ref.5

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the Vang family.

Sequence caution

The sequence BAA86529.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation. Translation N-terminally shortened.
