Mouse FZD1, recombinant (C-Fc)

Recombinant Mouse Frizzled (Drosophila) Homolog 1 is produced by our Mammalian expression system and the target gene encoding Val69-His248 is expressed with a human IgG1 Fc tag at the C-terminus. Protein function: Receptor for Wnt proteins (PubMed:15923619). Activated by WNT7B (PubMed:15923619). Activated by WNT3A, WNT3, WNT1 and to a lesser extent WNT2, but apparently not by WNT4, WNT5A, WNT5B, WNT6, WNT7A or WNT7B. Contradictory results showing activation by WNT7B have been described for mouse (PubMed:15923619). Functions in the canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway (PubMed:15923619). The canonical Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway leads to the activation of disheveled proteins, inhibition of GSK-3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and activation of Wnt target genes (PubMed:15923619). A second signaling pathway involving PKC and calcium 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 and intercellular transmission of polarity information during tissue morphogenesis and/or in differentiated tissues (Probable). [The UniProt Consortium]
