Wnt proteins

Wnt proteins are signaling molecules that play a key role in regulating how cells grow, develop, and communicate in the body. They help coordinate processes like tissue formation, cell differentiation, and regeneration. Wnt signals influence embryonic development and maintain healthy tissues by guiding cells to perform specific functions. When Wnt signaling works properly, it supports normal growth; when disrupted, it can lead to diseases such as cancer or developmental disorders. Overall, Wnt proteins are essential for maintaining the balance and proper functioning of cells in multicellular organisms.
