Recombinant Mouse Wnt5a Protein, Myc/DDK-tagged

• Cat.No.: Wnt5a-7006M
• Product Overview: Purified recombinant protein of Mouse wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 5A (Wnt5a), with C-terminal MYC/DDK tag, expressed in HEK293T cells.

Specification

• Description: Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Can activate or inhibit canonical Wnt signaling, depending on receptor context. In the presence of FZD4, activates beta-catenin signaling. In the presence of ROR2, inhibits the canonical Wnt pathway by promoting beta-catenin degradation through a GSK3-independent pathway which involves down-regulation of beta-catenin-induced reporter gene expression. Suppression of the canonical pathway allows chondrogenesis to occur and inhibits tumor formation. Stimulates cell migration. Decreases proliferation, migration, invasiveness and clonogenicity of carcinoma cells and may act as a tumor suppressor. Mediates motility of melanoma cells. Required during embryogenesis for extension of the primary anterior-posterior axis and for outgrowth of limbs and the genital tubercle. Inhibits type II collagen expression in chondrocytes.

How does WNT5A interact with its receptors to initiate signal transduction?

It binds to Frizzled receptors and co-receptors, activating non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways.

In which developmental processes is WNT5A critically involved?

WNT5A is involved in embryonic development, particularly in limb formation and organogenesis.

How is WNT5A implicated in immune system regulation?

WNT5A modulates various immune responses, influencing inflammation and cell migration.

What is the primary role of WNT5A in cellular processes?

WNT5A is crucial in regulating cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation.

What therapeutic strategies are being explored involving WNT5A modulation?

Strategies include developing WNT5A modulators for potential use in cancer therapy and regenerative medicine.

Are there known genetic mutations in WNT5A associated with specific diseases?

Genetic mutations and altered expression of WNT5A are linked to developmental disorders and cancer.
