Drosophila S2 Cells Secrete Wingless on Exosome‐Like Vesicles but the Wingless Gradient Forms Independently of Exosomes
5 Oct 2012
Abstract excerpt
Wingless acts as a morphogen in Drosophila wing discs, where it specifies cell fates and controls growth several cell diameters away from its site of expression. Thus, despite being acylated and membrane associated, Wingless spreads in the extracellular space. Recent studies have focussed on identifying the route that Wingless follows in the secretory pathway and determining how it is packaged for release. We...
