WG

Wingless (Wg) is a segment polarity gene that encodes a ligand of the Wnt/Wg signaling pathway. Wg post-translational modification (addition of palmitoleate by por) is essential for signaling activity. Wg contributes to segment polarity, tissue growth and patterning, neuromuscular junction morphogenesis, gut homeostasis and long term memory formation. Wg acts on neighboring cells to regulate at least one gene, the homeobox segmentation gene engrailed.
