Human PORCN wild-type allele is located in the vicinity of Xp11.23 and is approximately 12 kb in length. This allele, which encodes protein-serine O-palmitoleoyltransferase porcupine protein, plays a role in post-translational modification of Wnt family proteins. Mutation of the gene is associated with focal dermal hypoplasia.
