Abstract
⺠Wnt5a is identified in osteoblasts in tibial growth plate and bone marrow. ⺠Osteoblastic differentiation is associated with increased expression of Wnt5a/Ror2. ⺠Wnt5a/Ror2 signaling is important for BMP-2-mediated osteoblastic differentiation. ⺠Wnt5a/Ror2 operates independently of BMP-Smad pathway.
