Wingless-Type MMTV Integration Site Family (WNT3A) Human Recombinant Protein

WNT3A: Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Wnt-3 and Wnt-3a play distinct roles in cell-cell signaling during morphogenesis of the developing neural tube. Interacts with PORCN. Interacts with APCDD1 and WLS. Component of the Wnt-Fzd-LRP5-LRP6 signaling complex that contains a WNT protein, a FZD protein and LRP5 or LRP6. Interacts directly in the complex with LRP6. Moderately expressed in placenta and at low levels in adult lung, spleen, and prostate. Belongs to the Wnt family.
