  text: Wnt genes play important roles in regulating patterning and morphogenesis
    during vertebrate gastrulation. In zebrafish, slb/wnt11 is required for convergence
    and extension movements, but not cell fate specification during gastrulation.
    To determine if other Wnt genes functionally interact with slb/wnt11, we analysed
    the role of ppt/wnt5 during zebrafish gastrulation. ppt/wnt5 is maternally provided
    and zygotically expressed at all stages during gastrulation. The analysis of ppt
    mutant embryos reveals that Ppt/Wnt5 regulates cell elongation and convergent
    extension movements in posterior regions of the gastrula, while its function in
    more anterior regions is largely redundant to that of Slb/Wnt11. Frizzled-2 functions
    downstream of ppt/wnt5, indicating that it might act as a receptor for Ppt/Wnt5
    in this process. The characterisation of the role of Ppt/Wnt5 provides insight
    into the functional diversity of Wnt genes in regulating vertebrate gastrulation
    movements. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
