Frizzled7 Functions as a Wnt Receptor in Intestinal Epithelial Lgr5+ Stem Cells

The mammalian adult small intestinal epithelium is a rapidly self-renewing tissue that is maintained by a pool of cycling stem cells intermingled with Paneth cells at the base of crypts. These crypt base stem cells exclusively express Lgr5 and require Wnt3 or, in its absence, Wnt2b. However, the Fri...
