Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to methods of identifying a compound that binds to or interacts with a protein receptor involved in bone formation. Specifically, the disclosure is directed to methods of identifying a compound that regulates a Wnt pathway in a cell by binding to or interacting with cavities in proteins such as LRP5, LRP 6 and/or frizzled receptor and interfering with receptor binding to other proteins in a Wnt pathway. The present disclosure is further directed to methods and compositions that comprise an identified compound for treating or preventing a disease in a mammal in which Wnt pathway suppression plays a role.
