Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptioncwn-2 encodes one of five C. elegans Wnt signaling molecules that is homologous to mammalian Wnt5; cwn-2 is required for proper placement of the nerve ring and anterior cells along the anterior/posterior axis; cwn-2 also acts redundantly to specify cell fates during vulval development; CWN-2 appears to be required at the time of nerve ring development (comma stage of embryogenesis) for nerve ring placement and likely functions as a signaling ligand for receptors, such as CAM-1, that regulate axon guidance of the SIA and SIB neurons that plays a role in nerve ring placement; CWN-2, along with LIN-17, CAM-1, and DSH-1, functions as part of a Wnt signaling pathway that regulates ACR-16 localization to postsynaptic regions, a key component of activity-dependent synaptic plasticity; in embryos at the comma stage, a cwn-2::gfp reporter is expressed in the intestine and in pharyngeal muscle; in larvae and adults, cwn-2::gfp is seen in the intestine, pharynx, anterior body wall muscle, vulva and SMD head neurons.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00024383

Automated_descriptionPredicted to enable cytokine activity and frizzled binding activity. Involved in several processes, including neuroblast migration; neuron migration; and pattern specification process. Predicted to be located in extracellular space. Expressed in several structures, including P5.ppp; P7.paa; RME; pharynx; and rectal gland cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including autosomal dominant Robinow syndrome 1; endometrial carcinoma; and germ cell cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human WNT5A (Wnt family member 5A) and WNT5B (Wnt family member 5B).Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkMap position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
