Wnt inhibitory factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WIF1 gene.^[5] WIF1 is a lipid-binding protein that binds to Wnt proteins and prevents them from triggering signalling.^[6]^[7]^[8]

Function

WNT proteins are extracellular signaling molecules involved in the control of embryonic development. This gene encodes a secreted protein, which binds WNT proteins and inhibits their activities. This protein contains a WNT inhibitory factor (WIF) domain and 5 epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like domains. It may be involved in mesoderm segmentation. This protein is found to be present in fish, amphibia and mammals.^[5]

Wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 2, also known as WNT2, is a human gene.

In molecular biology, the protein domain, WIF N-terminal refers to the N terminal domain of the protein, WIF. It stands for, Wnt-inhibitory factor, whereby wnt is a signalling molecule also known as wingless. Wnt is a molecule in the wnt signaling pathway. The WIF domain binds to the wnt ligand since it inhibits it.
