Description	Receptor tyrosine kinase signaling cooperates with WNT/beta catenin signaling in regulating many biological processes, but the mechanisms of their interaction remain poorly defined. We describe a potent activation of WNT/beta catenin by FGFR2 FGFR3, EGFR and TRKA kinases, which is independent of the PI3K/Akt pathway and it depends on ERK-MAPK mediated phospohrylation of WNT co-receptor LRP6.
