摘要
Recent genetic studies in Drosophila and mouse have uncovered a new aspect of the Wnt signal transduction machinery. Mutations disrupting LDL-receptor related proteins produce loss-of-function Wnt phenotypes, suggesting that these cell surface molecules may represent essential co receptors for Wnt ligands.
