Comment typeDescription
Disruption PhenotypeDefects in endoderm development, blastomere differentiation and mitotic spindle axis formation.
FunctionImplicated in the Wnt signaling pathway. Thought to be involved in lipid modification of Wnt proteins. Has a role in cell specification, specifically in blastomere signaling. Involved in cytosketetal polarity. Required for the orientation of mitotic spindle axis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10444600, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15020416, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9288750}.
