[Wnt protein, Wnt proteins]
[wingless-type MMTV integration site proteins] The designation "Wnt" is an acronym coined from the Drosophila melanogaster wingless gene, which is the Drosophila homolog of int-1, identified originally as a chromosomal site of insertion of mouse mammary tumor virus (MMTV) on mouse chromosome 15. Wnt genes are structurally related genes that encode cysteine-rich secreted glycoproteins associated with the extracellular matrix of cells. All mammalian Wnt proteins are secreted proteins with a length of approximately 350-400 amino acids. They contain a large conserved domain
