Abstract excerpt
Lgr4 is a member of the leucine-rich, G protein-coupled receptor family of proteins, and has recently been shown to augment Wnt/β-catenin signaling via binding to Wnt agonists R-spondins. It plays an important role in skin development, but its involvement in skin tumorigenesis is unclear. Here, we report that mice deficient for Lgr4 are resistant to 12-O-tetradecanoyl-phorbol-13-acetate (TPA)-induced keratinocyte...
