UniProtKB description:  Receptor for Wnt proteins (PubMed:10097073, PubMed:20530549, PubMed:26908622, PubMed:9054360). Functions in the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. In vitro activates WNT2, WNT10B, WNT5A, but not WNT2B or WNT4 signaling (By similarity). In neurons, activation by WNT7A promotes formation of synapses (PubMed:20530549). May be involved in transduction and intercellular transmission of polarity information during tissue morphogenesis and/or in differentiated tissues (Probable). Plays a role in yolk sac angiogenesis and in placental vascularization (By similarity). Plays a role in ocular development (PubMed:26908622).
