Frizzled and LRP5/6 are Wnt receptors that upon activation lead to stabilization of cytoplasmic β-catenin. In this study, we review the current knowledge of these two families of receptors, including their structures and interactions with Wnt proteins, and signaling mechanisms from receptor activation to the engagement of intracellular partners Dishevelled and Axin, and finally to the inhibition of β-catenin phosphorylation and ensuing β-catenin stabilization. ...[more]
