FZD4 frizzled class receptor 4

Gene ID: 8322, updated on 7-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: Fz4; EVR1; FEVR; Fz-4; FzE4; GPCR; hFz4; CD344; FZD4S

Summary

This 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 protein may play a role as a positive regulator of the Wingless type MMTV integration site signaling pathway. A transcript variant retaining intronic sequence and encoding a shorter isoform has been described, however, its expression is not supported by other experimental evidence.
