Background Information

Naked2 (protein naked cuticle homolog 2), encoded by NKD2 gene, was identified as a cell autonomous antagonist of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Naked2 acts as a cargo recognition and targeting protein to ensure proper delivery and fusion of TGF-alpha-containing vesicles to a distinct region at the basolateral surface of polarized epithelial cells (PMID: 17553928). EGFR-independent action of TGF-alpha protects Naked2 from proteasomal degradation, thus ensuring its delivery to the basolateral surface (PMID: 18757723). Myristoylated Naked2 antagonizes Wnt-beta-catenin activity possibly by degrading Dishevelled-1 at the plasma membrane (PMID: 20177058).
