Where Does Wnt Come From? [Solved]

The term “Wnt” is derived from the terms wingless and int. The Int oncogenes, including Int1, were first identified in the mouse mammary tumor. In 1987, investigators sequenced wingless in Drosophila and found it was the homolog of int-1. Thus, the int/Wingless family became the Wnt family and int1 became Wnt1.
