| Target/Specificity | The WNT family consists of sereval secreted signaling proteins. These proteins have been implicated in oncogenesis and in several developmental processes, including regulation of cell fate and patterning during embryogenesis. WNT8B is a protein which shows 95%, 86% and 71% amino acid identity to the mouse, zebrafish and Xenopus Wnt8B proteins, respectively. The expression patterns of the human and mouse genes appear identical and are restricted to the developing brain. The chromosomal location of this gene to 10q24 suggests it as a candidate gene for partial epilepsy.The WNT gene family consists of structurally related genes which encode secreted signaling proteins.

| Function | Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. May play an important role in the development and differentiation of certain forebrain structures, notably the hippocampus. |
| Cellular Location | Secreted, extracellular space, extracellular matrix |
| Tissue Location | Expression is restricted to the brain, and more specifically to the forebrain. |
