Four regulatory phases of Wnt signal transduction. Whole Wnt signal cascades consist of four identical regulatory events: (1) how much Wnt-producing cells secret Wnt ligand proteins to outside of the cells (left side); (2) how much Wnt-receiving cells are stimulated by functional Wnt ligands at the extracellular and receptors on the cell surface (top); (3) how Wnt-received cells intracellularly transduce the signals to the downstream points of action (right side, upper); (4) how cells respond to the signal received via several biological reactions, including the expression of Wnt target genes (right side, bottom). ER, endoplasmic reticulum; PAM, palmitoleic acid; MVB, multivesicular body; SV, secretory vesicle; Ub, ubiquitin.
