frizzled-1; Fz-1; hFz1; FzE1 (FZD1)
Function:
- receptor for Wnt proteins
- most of frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway, which leads to the activation of disheveled proteins, inhibition of GSK- 3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin & activation of Wnt target genes
- a second signaling pathway involving PKC & Ca+2 fluxes has been seen for some family members, but it is not yet clear if it represents a distinct pathway or if it can be integrated in the canonical pathway, as PKC seems to be required for Wnt-mediated inactivation of GSK-3 kinase
- both pathways seem to involve interactions with G-proteins
- may be involved in transduction & intercellular transmission of polarity information during tissue morphogenesis &/or in differentiated tissues
- activated by Wnt3A, Wnt3, Wnt1 & to a lesser extent Wnt2,
- not activated by Wnt4, Wnt5A, Wnt5B, Wnt6, Wnt7A or Wnt7B
- - binds to LRP1 which leads to repression of canonical wnt signaling
Structure:
- Lys-Thr-X-X-X-Trp motif is involved in the activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway (putative)
- FZ domain is involved in binding with Wnt ligands
- belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor Fz/smo family
- contains 1 FZ (frizzled) domain
Compartment:
- membrane
Expression:
- expressed in adult heart, placenta, lung, kidney, pancreas, prostate, & ovary & in fetal lung & kidney
