XB-ART-55302 Bighead is a Wnt antagonist secreted by the Xenopus Spemann organizer that promotes Lrp6 endocytosis Yi Ding, Gabriele Colozza, Eric A.

protein function and phenotype notes
Bighead is a secreted protein that inhibits Wnt by causing the endocytosis and degradation in lysosomes of the Wnt coreceptor Lrp6. Its overexpression induces embryos with larger heads, and its knockdown reduces head development through the regulation of Wnt signaling.
