Osteogenesis imperfecta-associated MESD mutations produce hypomorphic alleles whose failure to remain within the endoplasmic reticulum significantly reduces but does not completely eliminate LRP5 and LRP6 trafficking

Mesd C-terminal region constitutes the major LRP5/6-binding domain, and that Mesd protein and its C-terminal region peptide have a potential therapeutic value in cancer
Title: The C-terminal region Mesd peptide mimics full-length Mesd and acts as an inhibitor of Wnt/β-catenin signaling in cancer cells.
Results indicate that Mesd is a universal inhibitor of Wnt/LRP signaling on the cell surface.
Title: Mesd is a general inhibitor of different Wnt ligands in Wnt/LRP signaling and inhibits PC-3 tumor growth in vivo.
Results provide evidence that MESD functions as a general LRP chaperone and suggest that the Mesd phenotype results from both signaling and endocytic defects resulting from misfolding of multiple LRP receptors.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

RNA

NR_126327.2 RNA Sequence

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) differs in the 3' exon structure, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).

Source sequence(s)

NR_126328.2 RNA Sequence

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (3) lacks two exons and contains two alternate 3' exons, compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most expected translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
