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. FZD3 may play a role in mammalian hair follicle development and in controlling early axon growth and guidance processes necessary for the formation of a subset of central and peripheral major fiber tracts. FZD3 may also be implicated in the transmission of sensory information from the trunk and limbs to the brain. Together with FZD6, FZD3 is involved in the neural tube closure and plays a role in the regulation of the establishment of planar cell polarity (PCP).  FZD3 promotes neurogenesis by maintaining sympathetic neuroblasts within the cell cycle in a beta-catenin-dependent manner. The FZD3 gene is a susceptibility locus for schizophrenia.
