Biological function summary
This protein plays a critical role in the regulation of developmental processes including cell proliferation differentiation and migration. Wnt7a is part of the Wnt signaling pathway which is a complex network of proteins known for its involvement in embryonic development and regulation of cell fate decisions. The pathway contributes to the proper formation of tissues and organs and maintains cellular homeostasis.
Pathways
Wnt7a is significantly involved in the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway as well as the planar cell polarity pathway. In the canonical pathway Wnt7a influences the stabilization and translocation of β-catenin to the nucleus promoting transcription of target genes. It also interacts with other Wnt proteins like Wnt3a and different frizzled receptors playing roles in various cell signaling events and modulating cellular communication.

General info
Function
Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors that functions in the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway (By similarity). Plays an important role in embryonic development, including dorsal versus ventral patterning during limb development, skeleton development and urogenital tract development (PubMed : 16826533). Required for central nervous system (CNS) angiogenesis and blood-brain barrier regulation (PubMed : 30026314). Required for normal, sexually dimorphic development of the Mullerian ducts, and for normal fertility in both sexes (By similarity). Required for normal neural stem cell proliferation in the hippocampus dentate gyrus (By similarity). Required for normal progress through the cell cycle in neural progenitor cells, for self-renewal of neural stem cells, and for normal neuronal differentiation and maturation (By similarity). Promotes formation of synapses via its interaction with FZD5 (By similarity).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the Wnt family.
Post-translational modifications
Palmitoleoylation is required for efficient binding to frizzled receptors. Depalmitoleoylation leads to Wnt signaling pathway inhibition.
