Frizzled-9 Protein Definition
Frizzled 9, encoded by the human FZD9 gene, is a G protein-coupled receptor for Wnt signaling proteins. This gene has been first described as FZD3 in literature. FZD9 is expressed predominantly in brain, testis, eye, skeletal muscle, and kidney. Frizzled 9 may function in tissue polarity, development and carcinogenesis. Heterozygous deletion of the FZD3 gene may contribute to the Williams syndrome phenotype. (From LocusLink and NCI)
