Wnt7a also known as Wingless-type MMTV integration site family member 7A is a protein involved in various cellular processes. It has a molecular mass of approximately 39 kDa and is expressed in several tissues including the brain lungs and kidneys. Mechanically Wnt7a acts as a signaling molecule that binds to frizzled receptors on cell surfaces initiating downstream signaling cascades that result in the transcriptional regulation of target genes.
Biological function summary
This protein plays a critical role in the regulation of developmental processes including cell proliferation differentiation and migration. Wnt7a is part of the Wnt signaling pathway which is a complex network of proteins known for its involvement in embryonic development and regulation of cell fate decisions. The pathway contributes to the proper formation of tissues and organs and maintains cellular homeostasis.
Pathways
Wnt7a is significantly involved in the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway as well as the planar cell polarity pathway. In the canonical pathway Wnt7a influences the stabilization and translocation of β-catenin to the nucleus promoting transcription of target genes. It also interacts with other Wnt proteins like Wnt3a and different frizzled receptors playing roles in various cell signaling events and modulating cellular communication.
Wnt7a is linked to limb malformation disorders such as Fuhrmann syndrome and Al-Awadi/Raas-Rothschild/Schinzel phocomelia syndrome. These conditions arise from mutations that affect the function of Wnt7a disrupting normal limb development. Additionally aberrant Wnt7a signaling has implications in cancer particularly in the modulation of tumor microenvironment and metastasis where altered interactions with proteins like β-catenin can contribute to oncogenic processes.
