Disease relevance of WNT9B

 

High impact information on WNT9B

  • We report an analysis of mouse Wnt9b (also called Wnt15 and Wnt14b), including its cDNA sequence, chromosomal mapping, epithelial cell transforming activity, adult and embryonic tissue expression patterns, and evolution [4].
  • We have isolated a number of WNT sequences from human genomic DNA, two of which, designated WNT14 and WNT15, represent novel members of the Wnt gene family [5].
  • Intergenic region between WNT14B and WNT3 genes was about 33 kb in size [3].
  • WNT14B mRNA was significantly up-regulated by all-trans retinoic acid in NT2 cells [3].
  • These results indicate that WNT14 is a target gene of IFNgamma in MKN45 cells, and that WNT14B is a target gene of estrogen in MCF-7 cells [2].
