Wnts and the female reproductive system.

The Journal of experimental zoology - 1 Nov 2001

Heikkilä M, Peltoketo H, Vainio S

Abstract excerpt

Wnts are intercellular growth and differentiation factors that regulate several key developmental steps, such as gastrulation, neurulation, and organogenesis, including the development of the midbrain, central nervous system, kidney, and limbs. Wnts are also needed for a normal development of the reproductive system. Deficiency of Wnt-4, -5a, and -7a, for example, results in sex reversal, infertility, and/or...
