Wnt1 - wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 1

Enables cytokine activity and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in several processes, including astrocyte-dopaminergic neuron signaling; central nervous system development; and regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; regulation of cellular protein metabolic process; and ubiquitin-dependent SMAD protein catabolic process. Located in cell surface and extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; early conceptus; embryo ectoderm; and genitourinary system. Used to study breast cancer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in osteogenesis imperfecta type 15 and osteoporosis. Orthologous to human WNT1 (Wnt family member 1).
