The Wnt/planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathway plays a critical role in wing, eye, neural tube defects, and sensory bristle development of Drosophila and vertebrate development. Recently, the Wnt/PCP pathway has been known to regulate convergent extension (CE) movements that are essential for establishing the three germ layers and body axis during early vertebrate development. Here, we describe detailed practical procedures required for the particular studies in Xenopus CE movements. © 2012 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
