General description

Frizzled homolog protein (FZD) is a seven-pass transmembrane type receptor expressed in various normal tissues such as skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, cerebellum and cerebral cortex. In human, ten members (FZD1-FZD10) of Frizzled homolog protein have been identified. FZD7 is expressed throughout normal gastrointestinal tract, from esophagus to rectum. It is highly expressed in the gastric cancer cell line MKN7 and relatively lowers in esophageal cancer cell lines.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to the N-terminal extracellular domain of human frizzled-7, conjugated to KLH. The immunizing peptide has 100% homology with the mouse gene.

Application

Anti-Frizzled-7 antibody is suitable for immunostaining of liver tissues to localise FZD7 in T and pT tissues. It is also suitable for immunohistochemistry (formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded sections) at a concentration of 4μg/mL using human kidney.

Biochem/physiol Actions

FZD7 shows 98.8% nucleotide identity with FzE3 and encodes for WNT receptors with nine amino-acid substitutions. In human primary gastric cancer, high level of FZD7 has been found. Mechanistically, over-expression of Frizzled-7 accelerates the WNT-β-catenin-TCF pathway. Through the activation of the WNT-β-catenin-TCF pathway, FZD7, might play key roles in carcinogenesis.

Physical form

Solution in phosphate buffered saline containing 0.01% sodium azide.

Human Frizzled-7 (FZD7) and human FzE3, showing 98.8% nucleotide identity, encode almost identical WNT receptors with nine amino-acid substitutions. FzE3 is claimed to be expressed specifically in esophageal cancer. We determined the structure of the FZD7 gene and the FZD7

Dysregulation of growth factors and their receptors is central to human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We previously demonstrated that the Frizzled-7 membrane receptor mediating the Wnt signalling can activate the beta-catenin pathway and promotes malignancy in human hepatitis B virus-related HCCs.

Wnt signaling pathways play important roles in tumorigenesis and are initiated by binding of Wnt to various receptors including frizzleds (FZDs). FZDs are one of several families of receptors comprised of FZD/LRP/ROR2/RYK in the Wnt signaling pathway. Expression of some

Frizzled (FZD) genes encode seven-transmembrane type WNT receptors, which are implicated in carcinogenesis and embryogenesis. We have previously cloned and characterized FZD1, FZD2, FZD3, FZD4, FZD5, FZD6, FZD7, FZD8, and FZD10. Here, we investigated expression profiles of all members of
