• Host: E Coli
• Purity/Purification: >95% by SDS-PAGE
• Form/Format: Liquid; 50mM NaH2PO4, 500mM NaCl Buffer with 500mM Imidazole, 10% Glycerol (PH8.0)
• Concentration: Reconstitution Dependent (varies by lot)
• Sequence Length: 694

• Applicable Applications for FZD8 recombinant protein: ELISA (EIA), Western Blot (WB), Antigen Protein (AP), Protein Array
• Species: Human
• Tag: His
• Subunit: Component of a Wnt-signaling complex that contains a WNT protein, a FZD protein and LRP5 or LRP6. Interacts directly with LRP5 or LRP6; the interaction is promoted by Wnt-binding and signaling and inhibited by DKK1. Interacts with GPOC, RSPO1 and RSPO3.
• Entry Function: Receptor for Wnt proteins. Component of the Wnt-Fzd-LRP5-LRP6 complex that triggers beta-catenin signaling through inducing aggregation of receptor-ligand complexes into ribosome-sized signalosomes. The beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway 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. Coreceptor along with RYK of Wnt proteins, such as WNT1.
• Preparation and Storage: Store at -20 degree C. Avoid repeated freezing and thawing.

NCBI 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. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
