Abstract: The cashmere growth of cashmere goat has the characteristic of periodicity and is affected by many factors. Wnt10b gene, as one of the important members of Wnt family, plays an important role in the formation of fat and bone, occurrence of some diseases (such as tumor), generation of hair follicle, and the growth and active state maintenance of hair plate in animal. In this paper, the origin, structure, physiological function, regulatory mechanism of Wnt10b and its influence on the growth cycle of hair follicle are reviewed, in hoping to provide reference for understanding the mechanism of Wnt10b in promoting the periodic growth of cashmere.

Key words: cashmere goat, Wnt10b gene, hair follicle, periodic growth
