basic FUNCTION
  • regulates convergent extension (CE) movements through the non-canonical Wnt pathway
  • regulates CE in vertebrate embryos by anchoring different Wnt receptors at the cell surface and maintaining Dishevelled stability
  • CELLULAR PROCESS nucleotide, transcription
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component component of the GPI-GlcNAc transferase
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • functionally interacted with Knypek/GLI4 and was required for its localization at the cell surface
  • KMT2B is required for the expression of PIGP, the enzyme catalyzing the first step of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchor synthesis
