Protein Wnt-10b (formerly Wnt12 [5] ) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WNT10B gene. [6] [7] [8] [9]
The WNT gene family consists of structurally related genes that encode secreted signaling proteins. These proteins have been implicated in oncogenesis and in several developmental processes, including regulation of cell fate and patterning during embryogenesis.
This gene is a member of the WNT gene family. It may be involved in breast cancer, and its protein signaling is, it is presumed, a molecular switch that governs adipogenesis. Gain-of-function of Wnt10b in mouse hearts has shown to improve cardiac tissue repair after myocardial injury, by promoting coronary vessel formation and attenuating pathological fibrosis. [10] This protein is 96% identical to the mouse Wnt10b protein at the amino acid level. This gene is clustered with another family member, WNT1, in the chromosome 12q13 region. [9]
Proto-oncogene Wnt-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WNT1 gene.
Frizzled-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FZD2 gene.

Frizzled-3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FZD3 gene.
Frizzled-7 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FZD7 gene.
Frizzled-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FZD4 gene. FZD4 has also been designated as CD344.
Protein Wnt-5a is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WNT5A gene.
Low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LRP6 gene. LRP6 is a key component of the LRP5/LRP6/Frizzled co-receptor group that is involved in canonical Wnt pathway.

Protein Wnt-9a is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WNT9A gene.
Wnt7b is a signaling protein that plays a crucial role for many developmental processes including placental, lung, eye, dendrite, and bone formation along with kidney development. The primary role of Wnt7b is to establish the cortico-medullary axis of epithelial organization.
