Ligands That Act On Wnt Signaling
- 2-amino-4--6-(3-methoxyphenyl)pyrimidine as an agonist of Wnt signaling.
- The signaling molecule Cerberus inhibits Wnt, thus repressing the inhibition of β-Catenin on SoxB1 family members. This enables the specification of Neuroepithelium in Drosophila neural induction.

Famous quotes containing the word act:
“We must not suppose that, because a man is a rational animal, he will, therefore, always act rationally; or, because he has such or such a predominant passion, that he will act invariably and consequentially in pursuit of it. No, we are complicated machines; and though we have one main spring that gives motion to the whole, we have an infinity of little wheels, which, in their turns, retard, precipitate, and sometime stop that motion.”
—Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
