Entrez gene summary

This intronless gene is a member of the frizzled gene family. Members of this family encode seven-transmembrane domain proteins that are receptors for the Wingless type MMTV integration site family of signaling proteins. Most frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway. This gene is highly expressed in two human cancer cell lines, indicating that it may play a role in several types of cancer. The crystal structure of the extracellular cysteine-rich domain of a similar mouse protein has been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]

Staining summary

Most of the normal cells showed weak to moderate cytoplasmic positivity. Additional nuclear staining was observed in Purkinje cells, endometrial glands, thyroid and placenta decidual cells. A subset of seminiferus ducts cells exhibited moderate nuclear staining. Stomach, islets of Langerhans, spleen and muscle cells were negative.
