 Similarly to the "Xenopus" oocytes, this is essentially the result of non-equal distribution of "Dsh", "Frizzled", "axin" and "APC" in the cytoplasm of the mother cell.One of the most important results of Wnt signaling and the elevated level of beta-catenin in certain cell types is the maintenance of pluripotency.In other cell types and developmental stages, β-catenin may promote differentiation, especially towards mesodermal cell lineages.
