Abstract

The article reports that Wnts are secreted, lipidated glycoproteins that are essential for cell–cell communication in development and tissue homeostasis throughout metazoans. The W in Wnt comes from the wingless (wg) gene, which is required for proper formation of most tissues and appendages in Drosophila.
