A Wnt5a peptide mimetic
Foxy-5 is a Wnt5a peptide mimetic with anticancer activity.1,2 It increases adhesion and reduces cell motility of MDA-MB-468 breast cancer cells when used at concentrations ranging from 1 to 1,000 ?M.1 Foxy-5 (2 mg/kg) reduces the number of lymph node metastases without affecting primary tumor growth in a DU145-Luc mouse xenograft model.2
