Did you mean Wnt proteins?

Glossary Wnt proteins

regulate cell growth and development through signaling pathways

Wnt proteins are a group of signaling molecules that play a crucial role in regulating cell-to-cell interactions during embryogenesis and in adult tissues. They are essential for processes like cell proliferation, migration, and differentiation, and are particularly important in the development and maintenance of hair follicles.
