How functional WNT proteins are made and how their secretion is regulated is becoming a focal point for the WNT-signalling field. Recently, lipoprotein particles, WNT lipid modifications, the conserved transmembrane protein Wntless (WLS; also known as EVI and SRT) and the retromer complex have been implicated in WNT secretion. Our aim is to synthesize ideas from these new findings for the mechanisms that underlie WNT secretion.
功能性WNT蛋白是如何产生的以及它们的分泌是如何被调控的,正成为WNT信号传导领域的一个焦点。最近,脂蛋白颗粒、WNT脂质修饰、保守的跨膜蛋白Wntless(WLS;也称为EVI和SRT)以及逆转录复合物已被证明与WNT分泌有关。我们的目标是综合这些新发现,以探讨WNT分泌背后的机制。
