Wnt pathway Ligands Receptors Intracellular components Transcription factors Interactome
Wnt “Wnt” is a combination of Wg (wingless) gene in Drosophila and Int gene in MMTV, two homologous genes Wnt are secreted proteins 19 Wnt genes in humans and mice
Wnt Receptors Receptor tyrosine kinase Derailed/RYK ROR Frizzled-transmembrane receptor LRP (lipoprotein-receptor related protein) Single-pass Tm proteins Cytoplasmic tail phosphorylated by GSK3 and CK1
