Norrie disease (pseudoglioma) (human)

Gene Summary

This gene encodes a secreted protein that acts a ligand for multiple different receptors and participates in both Wnt and Wnt-independant signalling. Its activity is important in vascular development of the eye and inner ear. Mutation of the related gene in humans causes Norrie syndrome. [provided by RefSeq, May 2015]
