Dear Editor,The ten mammalian Frizzleds(FZD1–10)belong to the class F of G protein-coupled receptors(GPCRs)and mediate WNT signaling through interaction with transducer proteins including Dishevelled(DVL)or heterotri...
Norrin, also known as the Norrie disease protein or X-linked exudative vitreoretinopathy 2 protein, is a secreted retinal growth factor with angiogenic and neuroprotective properties. Mutations in the NPD gene, which ...
Wnts are a large family of growth factors that mediate essential biological processes like embryogenesis, morpho- genesis and organogenesis. These proteins also play a role in oncogenesis, and they regulate apoptosis ...
Wnt signaling plays an important role in embryogenesis and tumorgenesis. Although the mechanism about how Wnts transduce their signaling from receptor frizzled (Fz) to cytosol has not been understood, dishevelled (Dvl...
