    basic FUNCTION
  • ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transemembrane receptors
  • plays an important role in leukemogenesis, raising its therapeutic interest
  • is an important determinant of cortical bone thickness (CBT) and bone mineral density (BMD), bone strength, and risk of fracture
  • is involved in intramembranous ossification and suppresses osteoblast differentiation through the Wnt/CTNNB1 pathway
  • regulates the somitic expression of two Notch ligands, deltaC (dlc) and deltaD (dld), whose combined function is required for HSC fate
  • antagonistic role for WNT16 in the chondrogenic transformation of vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs)
  • attenuates TGFB-Induced chondrogenic transformation in vascular smooth muscle
