*Under the assumption that k3 does not change, the levels of CB*-DC remain equal. Since there was no significant difference between the concentration of slow SGFP2-CTNNB1 in the absence or presence of WNT3A (57 nM versus 68 nM, not significant, Table 2) the average of both medians (62.5 nM) was used. ** In WNT OFF, w=0, and no inactivated destruction complex is formed. In WNT ON, w=1, which induces the formation of inactivated destruction complex at the expense of free destruction complex (see Equations 7a and 9 in the model description in Materials and methods).
