Wnt-8a is a member of the large and highly conserved Wnt family of signaling molecules that have roles in pattern formation, cell fate decision, axon guidance, and tumor formation (1). Mouse Wnt-8a consists of a 19 amino acid (aa) signal peptide that is cleaved to release the mature 335 aa secreted protein (2). Mature mouse Wnt-8a shares 82% and 91% sequence identity with human and rat mature Wnt-8a, respectively. Similar to other canonical Wnts, Wnt-8a binds to the Frizzled family of receptors to intiate beta-catenin signaling. Wnt-8a is expressed during early embryogenesis and is involved in mesoderm patterning and posteriorization of the neuroectoderm (3-6). Wnt-8a signaling promotes optic lens development as well as otic placode formation during inner ear development (7, 8). Expression of Wnt-8a is observed in heart progenitor cells where it positively regulates cardiac myogenesis (9, 10).
