A multiprotein protein complex containing membrane-localized Wnt receptors and cytosolic protein complexes, which is capable of transmitting the Wnt signal. Contains at least a Wnt protein, LRP5 or LRP6, a member of the Frizzled (Fz) family, Axin and and a Dishevelled (DVL) protein.

Comment
Within the Wnt signalosome, beta-catenin phosphorylation is inhibited through internalization of the signalosome complex, resulting in the sequestration of GSK3-beta into multi-vesicular bodies. No longer phosphorylated and targeted for degradation, beta-catenin is free to enter the nucleus and modulate downstream transcription.
