| Research Abstract |
Secreted signaling proteins play various roles in many biological phenomena. However, important questions, such as how these proteins are distributed and how their distribution is regulated, still remain to be elucidated probably because of limitation of sensitivity of experimental analyses. As one of the several approaches to answer these questions, we carefully examined spatial distribution of Wnt-3a proteins in developing mouse spinal cord by modified immunohistochemistry, identified a molecule that regulates spatial distribution of Wnt proteins using Xenopus embryo as an assay system, and examined its function in embryos. Furthermore, we also revealed that Wnt proteins are secreted in different forms according to cell types and cell polarity. These results reveal heterogeneity of Wnt proteins in spatial distribution and secreted forms.
