title: Wnt signaling: the naked truth?
abstract: Frizzled receptors can activate two alternative signal transduction pathways: the canonical Wnt pathway or the planar cell polarity pathway. Recent studies of the Naked cuticle protein suggest a mechanism for the inactivation of the canonical pathway and concomitant activation of the planar cell polarity pathway.
