epitope corresponding to amino acids 101-204 mapping within an internal region of Wnt-5b of human origin
Modification Notes
Belonging to a family of protooncogenes, Wnt proteins include at least 13 known members that are expressed in species ranging from Drosophila to man. The Wnt genes encode cysteine-rich putative glycoproteins, which have features typical of secreted growth factors. Northern blot analysis detects expression of Wnt-5a in brain, lung, and heart. Human frizzled-5 is the receptor for the Wnt-5a ligand. It is suggested that Wnt-5a augments primitive hematopoietic development in vivo and functions as a regulator of hematopoietic stem cell function. Wnt-5b is a 359 amino acid secreted protein that localizes to the extracellular matrix. Thought to function as a signaling molecule, Wnt-5b interacts with PORCN and acts as a ligand for members of the frizzled family of transmembrane receptors, possibly affecting the development of discrete tissue regions. Wnt-5b is expressed in a variety of tissues, including fetal brain, kidney, lung, ovary and small intestine, as well as in gastric cancer and teratocarcinoma cell lines, suggesting a role for Wnt-5b in tumorigenesis.
