Abstract excerpt
The proto-oncogene Wnt-1 encodes a cysteine-rich, secretory glycoprotein implicated in virus-induced mouse mammary cancer and intercellular signaling during vertebrate neural development. To attempt to correlate structural motifs of Wnt-1 protein with its function, 12 mutations were introduced singly and in several combinations into the coding sequence of Wnt-1 cDNA by site-directed mutagenesis. Mutant alleles in...
