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. FZD7 may be involved in transduction and intercellular transmission of polarity information during tissue morphogenesis and/or in differentiated tissues.  FZD7 gene expression may downregulate APC function and enhance beta-catenin-mediated signals in poorly differentiated human esophageal carcinomas.

Primers: Gene insert coding sequence can be confirmed by following primers:

(a) forward (or 5'-end) primer: 5’-CAAATGGGCGGTAGGCGTG-3’;

(b) reverse (or 3'-end) primer: 5’-CCAGGTTTCCGGGCCCTCAC-3’

 

 

Note: The sequence may vary due to the naturally occurring variants or mutations, such as single nucleotide polymorphism, or the artifact during PCR amplification.  High fidelity PCR systems should always be used.
