A cryptic frizzled module in cell surface collagen 18 inhibits Wnt/beta-catenin signaling.
Collagens contain cryptic polypeptide modules that regulate major cell functions, such as cell proliferation or death. Collagen XVIII (C18) exists as three amino terminal end variants with specific amino terminal polypeptide modules. We investigated the function of the variant 3 of C18 (V3C18) conta...
