Also provides genetic evidence for the existence of multiple Wg receptors; two different receptors for signaling activity and a third receptor for internalization and transport.

Demonstrates the role of POP-1 asymmetry and polarized Wnt signaling in the anterior-posterior cell fate divisions during early C. elegans development. Particularly intriguing is the finding that the polarity of Wnt signaling within the cell seems to be propagated during cell division from mother to daughter, probably without cues from other cells.
