LRP6 acts as a scaffold protein in cardiac gap junction assembly

LRP6 is known for its role as a Wnt co-receptor essential for the canonical Wnt/β-catenin signaling. Here, Li et al. show that LRP6 exerts a Wnt-independent scaffold function and regulates connexin 43 gap junction formation and coupling of cardiomyocytes in mouse hearts.
