WNT stimulation induces dynamic conformational changes in the Frizzled-Dishevelled interaction
CF Bowin, P Kozielewicz, L Grätz, M Kowalski-Jahn… - Science …, 2023 - science.org
Frizzleds (FZDs) are G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs) that bind to WNT family ligands.
FZDs signal through multiple effector proteins, including Dishevelled (DVL), which acts as a …
