Function | Receptor for Wnt proteins. Most of frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical 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 seen for some family members, but it is not yet clear if it represents a distinct pathway or if it can be integrated in the canonical pathway, as PKC seems to be required for Wnt-mediated inactivation of GSK-3 kinase. Both pathways seem to involve interactions with G-proteins. May be involved in transduction and intercellular transmission of polarity information during tissue morphogenesis and/or in differentiated tissues. Together with FZD3, is involved in the neural tube closure and plays a role in the regulation of the establishment of planar cell polarity (PCP), particularly in the orientation of asymmetric bundles of stereocilia on the apical faces of a subset of auditory and vestibular sensory cells located in the inner ear (By similarity). |

Background
This gene represents a member of the 'frizzled' genefamily, which encode 7-transmembrane domain proteins that arereceptors for Wnt signaling proteins. The protein encoded by thisfamily member contains a signal peptide, a cysteine-rich domain inthe N-terminal extracellular region, and seven transmembranedomains, but unlike other family members, this protein does notcontain a C-terminal PDZ domain-binding motif. This proteinfunctions as a negative regulator of the canonical Wnt/beta-cateninsignaling cascade, thereby inhibiting the processes that triggeroncogenic transformation, cell proliferation, and inhibition ofapoptosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcriptvariants.
