PORCN (porcupine homolog – Drosophila) is a human gene.[5][6] The protein is homologous to other membrane-bound O-acyltransferases.
Function
The protein encoded by this gene is an endoplasmic reticulum transmembrane protein involved in processing of wingless proteins such as WNT7A. It performs O-Palmitoleoylation of these proteins.[6]
Clinical significance
Mutations in this gene are associated with focal dermal hypoplasia.[7]
Mutations in PORCN are associated to Goltz-Gorlin syndrome.[8]
Ligands
Inhibitors
- WNT974 (LGK-974) - 1243244-14-5, researched for anti-cancer effects in Wnt-pathway sensitive tumours.[9] Also investigated for influencing cardiac tissue remodelling following infarction.[10]
