May be a coreceptor along with FZD8 of Wnt proteins, such as WNT1, WNT3, WNT3A and WNT5A. Involved in neuron differentiation, axon guidance, corpus callosum establishment and neurite outgrowth. In response to WNT3 stimulation, receptor C- terminal cleavage occurs in its transmembrane region and allows the C-terminal intracellular product to translocate from the cytoplasm to the nucleus where it plays a crucial role in neuronal development
Tissue Specificity
Observed in all the tissues examined.
Cellular Localization
Membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein (By similarity). Nucleus (By similarity). Cytoplasm (By similarity). Note=In cells that have undergone neuronal differentiation, the C-terminal cleaved part is translocated from the cytoplasm to the nucleus (By similarity)
Western blot analysis of RYK antibody (Center C397) in Hela cell line lysates (35ug/lane). RYK (arrow) was detected using the purified Pab.
