Biological function summary
Wnt5a drives critical processes in development and tissue homeostasis. It acts by guiding cell migration and establishing cell polarity. Wnt5a is not part of a single large complex but interacts with membrane receptors and co-receptors to exert its effects. This interaction initiates signaling cascades that regulate cytoskeletal dynamics which is essential in both embryonic development and adult tissue maintenance. Wnt5a's role is pivotal in maintaining cellular organization and function across different biological contexts.
Pathways
Wnt5a participates significantly in the planar cell polarity pathway and the Wnt/Ca2+ signaling pathway. In these pathways Wnt5a affects the activity of proteins such as Dishevelled and CaMKII to influence cellular functions independently from beta-catenin. These pathways regulate processes like tissue morphogenesis and cell orientation maintaining the spatial arrangement and structural integrity of tissues.

General info
Function
Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors. Can activate or inhibit canonical Wnt signaling, depending on receptor context. In the presence of FZD4, activates beta-catenin signaling. In the presence of ROR2, inhibits the canonical Wnt pathway by promoting beta-catenin degradation through a GSK3-independent pathway which involves down-regulation of beta-catenin-induced reporter gene expression (By similarity). Suppression of the canonical pathway allows chondrogenesis to occur and inhibits tumor formation. Stimulates cell migration. Decreases proliferation, migration, invasiveness and clonogenicity of carcinoma cells and may act as a tumor suppressor (PubMed : 15735754). Mediates motility of melanoma cells (PubMed : 17426020). Required during embryogenesis for extension of the primary anterior-posterior axis and for outgrowth of limbs and the genital tubercle. Inhibits type II collagen expression in chondrocytes (By similarity).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the Wnt family.
Post-translational modifications
Glycosylation is necessary for secretion but not for activity.. Palmitoleoylation is required for efficient binding to frizzled receptors. Depalmitoleoylation leads to Wnt signaling pathway inhibition.. Proteolytic processing by TIKI1 and TIKI2 promotes oxidation and formation of large disulfide-bond oligomers, leading to inactivation of WNT5A.
