Example sentences for: wnt

How can you use “wnt” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:

LRPs have been shown to bind to Wnt/Wg through the first and second EGF repeats of their extracellular domain [ 11 ] . Our unpublished work in mammalian cells and results from others [ 11 13 ] demonstrate that the expression of LRP6 or an aminoterminal truncation mutant (LRP6ΔN), which should no longer bind to Wnt, can activate the Wnt signaling pathway.
The overall pattern of gene expression observed in response to Wnt has important implications for the role of Wnt signaling in development and cancer.
The mechanism by which the Wnt signal is transduced through its transmembrane receptors is not clear.
Mis-regulation of Wnt signaling leads to the development of several human cancers, including colon carcinomas and melanoma [ 1 ] . Canonical Wnt signaling initiates in the binding of a Wnt ligand to its cell surface receptor, members of the frizzled gene family, along with the co-receptor LRP5/6 [ 2 3 ] , leading to changes in the activities of cytoplasmic effectors resulting in the stabilization of beta-catenin protein.
We focused on two genes that showed differential regulation by Wnt-1 and Wnt-5a since their regulation was reproducible using several methods to activate the Wnt signaling pathways.
