Expression of Wnt, Frizzled, sFRP, and DKK Genes in Adult Human Pancreas
1 Jan 2003
Abstract excerpt
Wnts are important signaling molecules involved in many normal developmental processes in the human body as well as some forms of cancer. Nineteen Wnt genes are found in the human genome, as well as 10 Wnt receptor genes called Frizzled. Two coreceptors called LRP 5 and 6 are critical for Wnt signal transduction. The interaction of the Wnts with the receptors is regulated by two classes of extracellular Wnt or...
