SFRP4 secreted frizzled related protein 4

Gene ID: 6424, updated on 5-Mar-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PYL; FRP-4; FRPHE; FRZB-2; sFRP-4

Summary

Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4) is a member of the SFRP family that contains a cysteine-rich domain homologous to the putative Wnt-binding site of Frizzled proteins. SFRPs act as soluble modulators of Wnt signaling. The expression of SFRP4 in ventricular myocardium correlates with apoptosis related gene expression. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
