Wnt-9b Proteins and Enzymes

Wnt-9b (also called Wnt-14b or Wnt-15) is a presumably secreted, glycosylated member of the Wnt family of developmental proteins. Wnt-9b is expressed in late embryos and in adult kidney, with lesser amounts in brain and liver. Wnt-9b is also expressed in crypt epithelial cells of the human intestine. Mature mouse Wnt-9b shows 93% and 98% amino acid (aa) identity with mature human and rat Wnt-9b, respectively. Wnt-9b shares 63% aa identity with Wnt-9a.

The Wnts make up a large family of ...
