Biological function summary
FZD2 acts as a critical mediator within the Wnt signaling pathway and it often functions as part of the Frizzled receptor complex. This protein binds to secreted Wnt ligands initiating intracellular signaling cascades that regulate cell fate proliferation and differentiation. Through these interactions FZD2 influences embryonic development and tissue homeostasis. The receptor's role in these fundamental processes highlights its importance in maintaining proper cellular and organismal function.
Pathways
FZD2 participates in the canonical Wnt/β-catenin and non-canonical Wnt signaling pathways. In the canonical pathway FZD2 assists in the stabilization and accumulation of β-catenin in the cytoplasm which ultimately translocates to the nucleus to regulate gene expression. In the non-canonical pathway FZD2 plays a part in the planar cell polarity and Wnt/Ca2+ pathways. Proteins like Dishevelled (DVL) and LRP5/6 are closely related to FZD2 facilitating its role in diverse signaling events important for development and cellular dynamics.

General info
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 (By similarity). 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.
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the G-protein coupled receptor Fz/Smo family.
Post-translational modifications
Ubiquitinated by ZNRF3, leading to its degradation by the proteasome.
