RECENT CITATIONS: RECOMBINANT MOUSE WNT-3A & WNT-5A

Members of the Wnt Family are extracellular glycoproteins that regulate multiple early developmental processes including tissue morphogenesis, cell differentiation, and axon guidance. Our active mouse Wnt-3a and Wnt-5a have been utilized as important tools in several recent studies assessing the role of Wnts in multiple aspects of embryonic development and in tumor formation.
