[No.04-0036] Wnt Inhibitor IWP-4

Wnt Inhibitor IWP-4 was identified in a high throughput screen for antagonists of the Wnt / β-catenin pathway. Wnt Inhibitor IWP-4 prevents palmitylation of Wnt proteins by Porcupine (Porcn), a membrane-bound O-acyltransferase, there by blocking Wnt secretion and activity. It also blocks phosphorylation of the Lrp6 receptor and accumulation of both Dvl2 and β-catenin1.
