    basic FUNCTION
  • may be involved in the pathogenesis of this disease through the regulation of adipocyte function
  • regulates mesenchymal cell aggregation and chondrocyte differentiation through the planar cell polarity pathway
  • WNT3 and WNT5B are critical factors secreted from Transforming growth factor-induced mesenchymal cancer cells for instigating the epithelial cancer cell invasion along with the induction of secondary EMT phenotype
  • role of GPC4 and WNT5B in chondrocyte stacking underlying craniofacial cartilage morphogenesis
  • may play an important role in the tumorigenesis of Colorectal cancer
  • WNT5B induces tube formation by regulating the expression of SNAIl and SNAI2 proteins through activation of canonical and non-canonical WNT signalling pathways
  • WNT5B-associated exosomes promote cancer cell migration and proliferation in a paracrine manner
  • WNT5B signals locally as an early step in basal constriction and acts together with more widespread PTK2 activation
  • exhibits negative effects on bone and might promote the development of osteoporosis
  • WNT5B did not affect the early osteogenic differentiation genes but suppressed the middle and late osteogenic differentiation genes, resulting in inhibition of differentiation and mineralization

    protein
  • CNBP up-regulates TBX2 and SMARCA5, and down-regulates WNT5B gene expression
  • significant correlation between WNT5B and WNT11 overall staining and presence of calcification, lipid score, fibrosis, and microvessels, in aortic valve calcification
  • IMP3 facilitates the transcription of SNAI2, which is necessary for TAZ nuclear localization and activation, by a mechanism that is also mediated by WNT5B
  • likely ESR1 interacts with NFATC1 to repress WNT5B protein expression
  • endogenous WNT5B interacts with ROR2
  • cell & other

    could contribute to decreased adipogenesis observed in T2DM diabetic subjects
    Susceptibility
  • to diabetes type 2
  • to osteoporosis
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • one SNP locus was strongly associated with type 2 diabetes
  • SNP rs2887571 regulate the expression of WNT5B, and increased expression of WNT5B with the AA genotype correlates with decreased bone mineral density and osteoporosis, as WNT5B inhibits osteoblast differentiation
