Wnt-8b Proteins and Enzymes

Wnt-8b (Wingless related integration site family member 8b) is a secreted glycoprotein member of the Wnt family of proteins that function as ligands for the Frizzled family of receptors. Little is known about Wnt-8b function, although Wnt-8b expression has been reported in human endometrium. Wnt-8b may play a role in forebrain development. Mature mouse Wnt-8b is 329 amino acids in length and contains 24 cysteines plus three potential N-linked glycosylation sites. The mature mouse protein is ...
