Wnt3a Surrogate, Human (HEK293, Fc)

• UNSPSC Description: Wnt3a Surrogate protein is a Wnt recombination protein that plays an important role in embryonic development, adult tissue homeostasis and injury repair. Wnt3a Surrogate protein, consisting of the domain and Fc portion of Wnt3a, helps organoids expand and maintain a source of Wnt. Organoids are a rapidly evolving model system for tissue development, and Wnt3a is considered as the essential protein for organoid growth. Wnt3a or the small molecule glycogen synthase kinase 3 (GSK3) inhibitor CHIR are commonly used as Wnt sources in experiments. However, the application of Wnt3a is hampered by Wnt lipidation, and cross-reactivity with Wnt frizzled (Fzd). Therefore, Wnt3a Surrogate protein was used instead of Wnt3a, as a water-soluble and Fzd-specific alternative Wnt agonist. And the Wnt3a Surrogate protein exhibits tissue selectivity consistent with Fzd isoform specificity[1][2][3]. Wnt3a Surrogate Protein, Human (HEK293, Fc) is a recombinant Wnt3a protein of human origin. It is expressed by HEK293 cells with an Fc tag.
