Members of the Frizzled (FZD) gene family encode 7-transmembrane domain proteins that are receptors for the Wingless type MMTV integration site (Wnt) family of signaling proteins. Most FZD receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin signaling pathway, which leads to the activation of disheveled proteins, inhibition of GSK-3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and activation of Wnt-target genes. A second signaling pathway involving PKC and calcium fluxes has been described for some family members, but it remains unclear if it represents a distinct pathway as PKC seems to be required for Wnt-mediated inactivation of GSK-3 kinase. In addition both pathways seem to involve interactions with G-proteins. The FZD protein typically contains a signal peptide, a cysteine-rich FZ (frizzled) domain in the N-terminal extracellular region, 7 transmembrane (7TM) domains, and a C-terminal cytoplasmic Lys-Thr-X-X-X-Trp motif that interacts with the PDZ doman of Dvl (Disheveled) family members and is involved in the activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway.  The FZ domain is involved in binding with Wnt ligands. FZD8 acts as a co-receptor along with RYK for Wnt proteins, such as WNT1.  FZD8 may be involved in transduction and intercellular transmission of polarity information during tissue morphogenesis and/or in differentiated tissues. The FZD8 gene is highly expressed in human cancer cell lines.
