Wnt signaling proteins are small secreted proteins that are active in embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and tumorigenesis.{17947,14336,13185} Wnt proteins bind to receptors on the cell surface, initiating a signaling cascade that leads to ?-catenin activation of gene transcription. IWP-3 is an inhibitor of Wnt production that impairs Wnt pathway activity in vitro with an IC50 value of 40 nM.{17505} IWP-3 inactivates porcupine, a membrane-bound O-acyltransferase responsible for palmitoylating Wnt proteins, which is essential for their signaling ability and secretion.{17505} At 5 ?M, IWP-3 has been shown to block Wnt-dependent phosphorylation of the low-density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 6 (LRP6) and the scaffold protein Dishevelled, preventing the accumulation of ?-catenin.{17505} By inhibiting Wnt signaling, IWP-3 has been used to promote cardiomyocyte generation from human embryonic stem cells (EC50 = 1.2 ?M).{23267}
