| Research Abstract |
We found that Wnt receptor LRP6 was phosphorylated in the lipid raft by Wnt3a stimulation. Wnt antagonist Dkk1 shifted endogenous LRP6 to the non-lipid raft fraction and induced clathrin-dependent endocytosis. We also found that glypican4, a member of proteoglycan, in the lipid raft activated theβ-catenin pathway. However, glypican4 in the non-lipid raft suppressedβ-catenin pathway but activatedβ-catenin-independent pathway. These results indicates how Wnt signaling pathway is regulated by Dkk1 and glypican4.
