MATERIALS AND METHODS FOR IDENTIFYING AGENTS THAT MODULATE NORRIN. NORRIN MIMETICS, AND AGENTS IDENTIFIED THEREBY

摘要

The specification discloses materials and methods for screening and identifying reagents, which modulate Norrin activity as it relates to Wnt pathway signaling. Preferably, agents identified thereby modulate bone remodeling and/or lipid levels, and can be Norrin mimetics and Norrin agonists, as well as other agonists and mimetics of the LRP5/Norrin/Frizzled4 complex.
