Products of the highly conserved Wnt gene family, including Wnt-1 through Wnt-10, play key roles in regulating cellular growth and differentiation. Wnt-1 is a cysteine-rich, secreted glycoprotein that associates with cell membranes and likely functions as a key regulator of cellular adhesion. Wnt-1, which is essential for normal development of the embryonic nervous system, contributes to hyperplasia and tumorigenic progression when improperly expressed in mammary tissue. Wnt-3 is also involved in tumorigenesis and Wnt-2 and Wnt-4 may be associated with abnormal proliferation in human breast tissue. Wnt-1, Wnt-3 and Wnt-10b have been implicated along with FGF-3 in the development of mouse mammary tumor virus induced mouse mammary carcinomas. Wnt family members have been shown to interact with Sonic hedgehog (Shh) in vivo to induce myogenesis in somatic tissue.||Applications: |Suitable for use in Western Blot, Immunohistochemistry.
