Abstract excerpt
Lrp6 is generally described as a receptor required for signal transduction in the Wnt/beta-catenin pathway. Wnt5a, however, is a Wnt ligand that usually does not activate Wnt/beta-catenin but rather activates noncanonical Wnt signaling. We have previously shown that Lrp6 can inhibit noncanonical Wnt5a/Wnt11 signaling and that Lrp5/6 loss-of-function produces noncanonical gain-of function defects, which can be...
