DESCRIPTION

Also known as VANG2_HUMAN, VANGL2, KIAA1215, STB1. Involved in the control of early morphogenesis and patterning of both axial midline structures and the development of neural plate. Plays a role in the regulation of planar cell polarity, particularly in the orientation of stereociliary bundles in the cochlea. Required for polarization and movement of myocardializing cells in the outflow tract and seems to act via RHOA signaling to regulate this process. Required for cell surface localization of FZD3 and FZD6 in the inner ear (By similarity). Homodimer and heterodimer with VANGL1. Interacts through its C-terminal region with the N-terminal half of DVL1, DVL2 and DVL3. The PDZ domain of DVL1, DVL2 and DVL3 is required for the interaction. Also interacts with the PDZ domains of MAGI3, SCRIB/SCRB1 and FZD3 (By similarity). Interacts with PRICKLE3 (By similarity).
