Cell Differentiation - Recombinant mouse Wnt3a protein (AB81484)
Human embryonic stem cells (HUES4) were differentiated as monolayer cultures on matrigel coated dishes using a protocol described in Kroon et al, Nat Biotechnol. (2008). Inhibin beta A (ab50051) and Wnt3a (ab81484) were added to cultures to direct differentiation towards definitive endoderm. This image was taken 3 days after induction, where the definitive endoderm marker FOXA2 (ab40874 in green) is abundant. Dapi staining is shown in blue. Magnification : 200x. Negative controls of fluorescently conjugated secondary antibodies only showed no staining.

Product details
Our bioactive recombinant mouse Wnt3 protein ab81484 is ideal to use in oncogenesis research and several developmental processes, including regulation of cell fate and patterning during embryogenesis.
The ab81484 mouse Wnt-3a is a monomeric glycoprotein. Due to glycosylation ab81484 migrates at an observed molecular weight of ~38-41 kDa by SDS-PAGE under non-reducing conditions.

Biological function summary
Wnt3a plays a critical role in embryonic development and cell proliferation. As part of a larger complex it partners with other signaling molecules to ensure proper cellular communication. Wnt3a is important in patterning during embryogenesis influencing processes like axis formation and organogenesis. Its expression impacts the development of skeletal structures by regulating the differentiation and proliferation of precursor cells.
Pathways
Wnt3a is an integral component of the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway which regulates gene expression essential for cell fate decisions. This pathway is activated when Wnt3a binds to the Frizzled and LRP5/6 receptor complex stabilizing β-catenin in the cytosol. Glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK-3β) and Adenomatosis polyposis coli (APC) are key proteins involved which help mediate the signal to downstream targets involved in cell growth and development.

General info
Function
Ligand for members of the frizzled family of seven transmembrane receptors (Probable). Functions in the canonical Wnt signaling pathway that results in activation of transcription factors of the TCF/LEF family (PubMed : 26902720). Required for normal embryonic mesoderm development and formation of caudal somites (PubMed : 8299937). Required for normal morphogenesis of the developing neural tube (PubMed : 8299937). Mediates self-renewal of the stem cells at the bottom on intestinal crypts (in vitro) (PubMed : 26902720).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the Wnt family.
Post-translational modifications
Proteolytic processing by TIKI1 and TIKI2 promotes oxidation and formation of large disulfide-bond oligomers, leading to inactivation of WNT3A.. Disulfide bonds have critical and distinct roles in secretion and activity. Loss of each conserved cysteine in WNT3A results in high molecular weight oxidized Wnt oligomers, which are formed through inter-Wnt disulfide bonding.. Palmitoleoylation by PORCN is required for efficient binding to frizzled receptors. Palmitoleoylation is required for proper trafficking to cell surface, vacuolar acidification is critical to release palmitoleoylated WNT3A from WLS in secretory vesicles (PubMed:17141155, PubMed:24798332). Depalmitoleoylated by NOTUM, leading to inhibit Wnt signaling pathway, possibly by promoting disulfide bond formation and oligomerization (PubMed:25771893).
