In pursuit of the functions of the Wnt family of developmental regulators: insights from Xenopus laevis.

BioEssays : news and reviews in molecular, cellular and developmental biology - 1 Feb 1993

Moon R T

Abstract excerpt

Wnts are a recently described family of secreted glycoproteins related to the Drosophila segment polarity gene, wingless, and to the proto-oncogene, int-1. Wnts are thought to function as developmental modulators, with signalling distances of only a few cell diameters. In Xenopus, at least six Wnts, including Xwnts-1, -3A, and -4, are expressed initially in the developing central nervous system, with some regions...
