ANIMAL & CELL MODELS
  • male mice lacking Wnt-7a fail to undergo regression of the Müllerian duct resulting of the absence of the receptor for Müllerian-inhibiting substance and Wnt7a-deficient females mice are infertile due to abnormal oviduct and uterus development
  • double-mutant mouse lacking both WNT7A and the downstream scaffold protein Dishevelled display defect in the release of neurotransmitter and localization of synaptic proteins is affected
  • Wnt7a-Dvl1–deficient mice exhibit defects in spine morphogenesis and mossy fiber-CA3 synaptic transmission in the hippocampus
