    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in short-range signaling during embryonic patterning
  • 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
  • WNT6, WNT10A and WNT10B inhibit adipogenesis and stimulate osteoblastogenesis through a CTNNB1-dependent mechanism
  • CELLULAR PROCESS cell communication
