Description
This intronless gene is a member of the frizzled gene family. Members of this family encode seven-transmembrane domain proteins that are receptors for the Wingless type MMTV integration site family of signaling proteins. Most frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway. This gene is highly expressed in two human cancer cell lines, indicating that it may play a role in several types of cancer. The crystal structure of the extracellular cysteine-rich domain of a similar mouse protein has been determined.
Bio-activity
Measured by its binding ability in a functional ELISA. When Recombinant Human Wnt-3a is immobilized at 1 μg/mL (100 μL/well), Biotinylated Recombinant Human Frizzled-8 Fc Chimera binds with an ED50 of 0.5-3 μg/mL.
