vangl2-b

Gene
vangl2-b
Protein
Vang-like protein 2-B
Organism
Xenopus laevis
Length
521 amino acids
Function
Has a role in non-canonical Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling; can recruite dvl/dsh and prickle from the cytoplasm to the plasma membrane. Acts in a PCP complex to regulate the polarized assembly of fibronectrin on the surface of the mesoderm during gastrulation. Regulates convergent extension in both dorsal mesoderm and neural tissue without affecting cell fate. Regulates neural fold closure during neurulation (PubMed:12074560, PubMed:15854914). May be required for cell surface localization of fzd3 and fzd6 in the inner ear (By similarity).
Similarity
Belongs to the Vang family.
