MeSH definition : Wnt proteins are a large family of secreted glycoproteins that play essential roles
in EMBRYONIC AND FETAL DEVELOPMENT, and tissue maintenance. They bind to FRIZZLED
RECEPTORS and act as PARACRINE PROTEIN FACTORS to initiate a variety of SIGNAL TRANSDUCTION
PATHWAYS. The canonical Wnt signaling pathway stabilizes the transcriptional coactivator
BETA CATENIN.;
MeSH synonym : wnt factors; wingless type proteins; Wnt Factor; Factor, Wnt; Wingless Type Protein; Protein, Wingless Type; Type Protein, Wingless; Wnt Protein; Protein, Wnt;
