    FAMILY
  • WNT family
  • CATEGORY protooncogene , signaling
    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION extracellular
    text associated with the extracellular matrix
    basic FUNCTION
  • invoved in oncogenesis and in several developmental process including regulation of cell fate and patterning during embyogenesis
  • playing a key role in carcinogenesis through activation of WNT-beta-catenin-TCF signaling pathway
  • ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors
  • plays a crucial role in the development and/or regulation of the ectodermal derivatives
  • key molecule for dentinogenesis and that it is associated with the cell-matrix interactions regulating odontoblast differentiation (Yamashiro 2007)
  • WNT6, WNT10A and WNT10B inhibit adipogenesis and stimulate osteoblastogenesis through a CTNNB1-dependent mechanism
  • may induce kidney fibrosis and associate with kidney dysfunction in acute interstitial nephritis (AIN)
  • acts as an oncofetal factor that is highly expressed and may promote proper development of the esophagus
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell communication
