Abstract

Wnt signaling consists of a highly conserved set of biochemical pathways that have a multitude of functions during embryonic development and in the adult. The Wnt proteins are extracellular agents that often act as gradient morphogens, indicating that their distribution in tissues is tightly controlled. This attribute is also characteristic of factors that regulate neurite outgrowth and guide axons precisely to their specific destinations. Several studies in various species now have established that Wnts and their receptors have an important role in axonal guidance. Different ligand/receptor combinations have been identified that mediate this activity in many of the experimental models. Clues about downstream effector molecules have come from in vitro systems. In this article, the authors review the results from many of these models, evaluate what is known about the associated signaling pathways and speculate about the direction of future research.

Each is checked against this paper’s own text: does it say what the citing paper says it does?

  • The answer to whether a specific Wnt ligand may selectively activate one particular branch of signaling remains unresolved since some Wnt ligands can activate both canonical and non-canonical pathways.

  • LRP-5 and LRP-6 are implicated in only the canonical pathway, while NRH1, PTK7 and ROR2 selectively transduce the non-canonical pathway.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
