1. The dispersion pattern starts out random but ends up uniform.
2. Uniform dispersions may also result from social interactions.
3. Territoriality between animals also causes uniform dispersion patterns.

#XL - T Zoology

β-catenin binds to TCF to displace the Gro repressor and recruits co-activator proteins Pygo, LGS, to activate target gene expression.

Active Wnt signaling leads to the secretion of Notum.

#Id: 9980

#XL - T Zoology

Notum, a hydrolase that associates with glypican and then cleaves off Wnt’s attached lipids in a process of deacylation or delipidation.

#XL - T Zoology

Delipidation process reduces Wnt signaling, creates a negative feedback mechanism for preventing excessive Wnt signaling.

#XL - T Zoology

Frizzled receptor possesses a unique hydrophobic cleft adapted to interact with lipidated Wnts, a binding conformation mimicked in Notum’s structure as well.
