Abstract

A novel member of the Wnt-family of growth factors, termed Wnt-x, has been identified and DNA encoding the growth factor has been isolated, purified, sequenced and expressed in host cells. This DNA encoding the novel Wnt-x protein and host cells expressing the Wnt-x protein are used to identify modulators of the Wnt-x growth factor.
