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
