   Xwnt-8, a Xenopus Wnt-1/int-1-related gene responsive to mesoderm-inducing 
   growth factors, may play a role in ventral mesodermal patterning during 
   embryogenesis.
   DEVELOPMENT 111 1045-1055 (1991).

   Wnt proteins constitute a large family of secreted molecules that are
   involved in intercellular signalling during development. The name derives
   from the first 2 members of the family to be discovered: int-1 (mouse) and
   wingless (Drosophila) [1]. It is now recognised that Wnt signalling controls
   many cell fate decisions in a variety of different organisms, including
   mammals [2]. Wnt signalling has been implicated in tumorigenesis, early
   mesodermal patterning of the embryo, morphogenesis of the brain and kidney,
   regulation of mammary gland proliferation, and Alzheimer's disease [3,4].
  
   Wnt-mediated signalling is believed to proceed initially through binding to
   cell surface receptors of the frizzled family; the signal is subsequently
   transduced through several cytoplasmic components to B-catenin, which enters
   the nucleus and activates the transcription of several genes important in
   development [5]. More recently, however, several non-canonical Wnt
   signalling pathways have been elucidated that act independently of
   B-catenin [6]. Members of the Wnt gene family are defined by their sequence
   similarity to mouse Wnt-1 and Wingless in Drosophila. They encode proteins
   of ~350-400 residues in length, with orthologues identified in several,
   mostly vertebrate, species. Very little is known about the structure of 
   Wnts as they are notoriously insoluble; in terms of primary structure, the
   family is characterised by a signal sequence and an almost invariant pattern
   of 23-24 conserved cysteines [1]. Fifteen major Wnt gene families have been 
   identified in vertebrates, with multiple subtypes within some classes.
  
   Wnt-8 cDNA was first isolated from Xenopus, with orthologues later being 
   identified in several other species including human, mouse and zebrafish. 
   Alternative exon splicing gives rise to several Wnt-8 isoforms [7].
  
   WNT8PROTEIN is a 4-element fingerprint that provides a signature for Wnt-8
   proteins. The fingerprint was derived from an initial alignment of 10
   sequences: the motifs were drawn from conserved regions spanning the full
   alignment length, focusing on those sections that characterise Wnt-8
   proteins but distinguish them from other Wnt subtypes - motif 1 lies at the
   N-terminus, following the putative signal peptide; motifs 2 and 3 reside
   between conserved cysteines; and motif 4 includes conserved cysteines
   13-15. Two iterations on SPTR40_22f were required to reach convergence,
   at which point a true set comprising 12 sequences was identified.
