Gene

Protein
Vang-like protein 2
Organism
Danio rerio
Length
526 amino acids
Function
Plays a role in non-canonical Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling to regulate convergent extension cell movements during gastrulation. Acts together with scrib and prickle1 and localizes prickle1 and dvl2/dsh to the plasma membrane. Has an overlapping role with kny during both convergent extension and eye development. In the eye, involved in establishing proper alignment of the anterior neural plate and midline cells expressing shha and shhb/twhh. Has indirect effects on a number of other developmental processes including notochord shape formation, neural progenitor cell morphogenesis, segregation of somites and adaxial cell development. Together with prickle1, required for the posterior (caudal) movement of branchiomotor neurons in the hindbrain independently of, and a few hours after, convergent extension (PubMed:11780127, Ref.2, PubMed:9007230, PubMed:9007234, PubMed:9007236, PubMed:9808788, PubMed:10996075, PubMed:10992326, PubMed:11820812, PubMed:12105418, PubMed:12874125, PubMed:15829519, PubMed:16407953, PubMed:17239849). May be required for cell surface localization of fzd3 and fzd6 in the inner ear (By similarity).

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. Required for cell surface localization of FZD3 and FZD6 in the inner ear (By similarity).

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. May be required for cell surface localization of fzd3 and fzd6 in the inner ear (By similarity).
