Protein mom-5; Receptor for Wnt proteins. Most frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway, which leads to the activation of disheveled proteins, inhibition of gsk-3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and activation of Wnt target genes (Probable). A second signaling pathway involving PKC and calcium fluxes has been seen for some family members, but it is not yet clear if it represents a distinct pathway or if it can be integrated in the canonical pathway, as pkc seems to be required for Wnt-mediated inactivation of gsk-3 kinase (Probable). B [...]

Frizzled-2; Receptor for Wnt proteins. Most frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway, which leads to the activation of disheveled proteins, inhibition of gsk-3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta- catenin and activation of Wnt target genes. A second signaling pathway involving PKC and calcium fluxes has been seen for some family members, but it is not yet clear if it represents a distinct pathway or if it can be integrated in the canonical pathway, as PKC seems to be required for Wnt-mediated inactivation of gsk-3 kinase. Both pathways seem to inv [...]

Inactive tyrosine-protein kinase RYK; Has no detectable kinase activity in vitro and is unlikely to function as a tyrosine kinase in vivo (By similarity). Receptor which may act as a receptor for Wnt ligand mom-2. Plays a role in controlling P7.p vulva precursor cell lineage orientation during vulva development. Regulates pop-1 asymmetric distribution in P7.p and its daughter cells. Plays a role in the migration of ALM neurons during embryogenesis.

DiSHevelled related.

Segment polarity protein dishevelled homolog mig-5; Plays a role in the signal transduction pathways mediated by multiple Wnt genes. Functions redundantly with other dishevelled family members throughout development. During embryonic and larval development, controls cell migration and/or cell fate specification of hypodermal cells, hypodermal seam cells, vulval precursor cells and, through distal tip cell migration, somatic gonad precursor cells. In early embryos, regulates the orientation of the mitotic spindle of blastomeres and specifically, along with dsh-2, is required for the cor [...]

Protein wntless homolog; Probable sorting receptor which regulates endocytosis and secretion of the wnt ligand egl-20. Recycling of mig-14 from the plasma membrane to the Golgi apparatus by the retromer complex is essential for its function. Its endosomal trafficking is regulated by its association with sorting nexin snx-3 on early endosomes and the mtm-6/mtm-9 myotubularin complex. Required in embryonic development for endoderm specification and the correct positioning and orientation of the mitotic spindles and division planes in blastomere cells. Functions during vulval development, [...]

Uncharacterized protein; Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor Fz/Smo family.

Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor cam-1; Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor for Wnt ligands egl-20, mom- 2 and cwn-1. Involved in the final positioning of migrating ALM, CAN, BDU and HSN neurons during development. Involved in the anterior-posterior migration of QR neuroblast descendants, QR.p and QR.pa, by maintaining QR.p cell polarization, probably through mig-2. In addition, plays a role in ASI sensory neuron positioning and functions. Regulates asymmetric division of V cells (seam cells) and CA/CP neuroblast, and axon outgrowth. Probably by acting as a receptor for Wnt ligand cwn- 2, [...]

Beta-catenin/armadillo-related protein 1; Participates in the Wnt signaling pathway which affects cell fate and may regulate the stem cell divisions of seam cells during larval development. Functions as a transcriptional activator but is dependent on the interaction with pop-1. Involved in maintaining lin-39 Hox expression and regulating glr-1 abundance at the synapses. Required for mab-5 expression during Q neuroblast migration and for oxidative stress-induced daf-16 signaling. Has roles in egg laying, vulva precursor cell fate determination, Q neuroblast migration, posterior ectoderm [...]
