WNT5A binds ROR2 and VANGL2 to promote PCP in mouse limb buds. A complex of WNT5A:ROR2:VANGL2 is established along the WNT5A gradient in chondrocytes and regulates VANGL2 phosphorylation. This initiates the establishment of PCP asymmetry in these cells, a hallmark of the PCP pathway (Gao et al, 2011). ROR2 has been shown to function as a receptor or co-receptor for WNT5A in other mammalian systems (Oishi et al, 2003; Mikels and Nusse, 2006; reviewed in Minami et al, 2010), and WNT5A:ROR2 signaling can also negatively regulate canonical beta-catenin-dependent transcription as assessed by reporter gene activity (Mikels and Nusse, 2006; Li et al, 2008).
