pubmed: wnt1 2023-09-09
Summary:
Recent findings regarding the immunomodulatory role of Wnt signaling suggest that it is significant in regulating the differentiation and proliferation of immune cells. In the present study, a Wnt-1 homolog (designated as CgWnt-1) with a conserved WNT1 domain was identified from oyster Crassostrea gigas. The transcripts of CgWnt-1 were barely expressed in egg to gastrula stage during early embryogenesis, and up-regulated significantly in the trochophore to juvenile stage. The mRNA transcripts of...
