Biosafety classification is based on U.S. Public Health Service Guidelines, it is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that their facilities comply with biosafety regulations for their own country.
The Wnt-5A gene encodes a secreted glyoprotein with a variety of signaling effects. Wnt proteins bind to receptors of the Frizzled family on the cell surface. Wnt genes control many of the patterning and growth events during embryonic development.
The cells secrete biologically active Wnt-5A protein.
