Popis | Lrp6 is generally described as a receptor required for signal transduction in the Wnt/b-catenin pathway. Wnt5a, however, is a Wnt ligand which usually does not activate Wnt/b-catenin but rather activates non-canonical Wnt signaling. Here we describe phenotypes found in Wnt5a/Lrp6 compound mutant mice, including a worsening of individual Wnt5a or Lrp6 loss of function phenotypes. Lrp6 haploinsufficiency in a Wnt5a-/- background caused spina bifida and exacerbated posterior truncation. |
