Wnt/β-catenin Signaling Pathway
Ever wondered how your cells decide their destiny? The Wnt/β-catenin pathway plays a major role! This animated video takes you on a journey inside the cell, revealing the secrets of this crucial signaling mechanism.
Without a Wnt signal:
β-catenin is kept in check by a "destruction complex," preventing it from entering the nucleus.
Inside the nucleus, transcription factors are silenced, unable to activate important genes.
When a Wnt signal arrives:
The party starts! The signal activates receptors, freeing β-catenin from its chains.
β-catenin marches into the nucleus, teaming up with transcription factors to turn on key genes.
These genes control cell growth, differentiation, and more!
But things can go wrong…
Aberrant Wnt/β-catenin signaling is linked to diseases like cancer.
Understanding this pathway can help us develop new therapies and interventions!
Join us on this exciting exploration! Learn the basics of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway, its vital role in cell fate, and its potential impact on human health.
