Processes regulated by Wnt4 during female reproductive tract development
Wnt4 is required during prenatal and postnatal development of female reproductive tract. The initial MD primordium occurs independently of Wnt4 function (E11.5, the MD primordium in red). After initiation of the process, differentiation of the MD tip cells, prenatal elongation of the MD and postnatal formation of the endometrial gland (eG) all depend on Wnt4 signalling.
The daughter cells that are initially Wnt4+ contribute to MD and eG formation.
Myo, myometrium; E, endometrium; eG, endometrial glands; L, lumen.
