Background
This gene encodes a member of the R-spondin family of proteins that share a common domain organization consisting of a signal peptide, cysteine-rich/furin-like domain, thrombospondin domain and a C-terminal basic region. The encoded protein may be involved in activation of Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathways. Mutations in this gene are associated with anonychia congenital. Alternate splicing results in multiple transcript variants.[provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009],
Function
disease:Defects in RSPO4 are the cause of anonychia [MIM:206800]. This is a rare autosomal recessive conditions in which the only presenting phenotype is the absence or severe hypoplasia of all fingernails and toenails.,domain:The FU repeat is required for activation and stabilization of beta-catenin.,function:Activator of the beta-catenin signaling cascade, leading to TCF-dependent gene activation. Acts both in the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin-dependent pathway, possibly via a direct interaction with Wnt proteins, and in a Wnt-independent beta catenin pathway through a receptor signaling pathway that may not use frizzled/LRP receptors.,miscellaneous:Upon injection into mice, it induces rapid onset of crypt cell proliferation involving beta-catenin stabilization. It also displays efficacy in a model of chemotherapy-induced intestinal mucositis.,PTM:Tyr-112 may be phosphorylated; however as
