Wnt receptors and the cytoplasmic signalling adaptor, dishevelled (Dvl), are upregulated in cancer and result in elevated canonical Wnt signalling. Here the authors show that the adaptor protein Epsin acts as a chaperone that protects Dvl from degradation thereby contributing to excess Wnt signalling and colon cancer growth.
