SFRP2

Domain

The FZ domain is involved in binding with Wnt ligands.

Function

Soluble frizzled-related proteins (sFRPS) function as modulators of Wnt signaling through direct interaction with Wnts. They have a role in regulating cell growth and differentiation in specific cell types. SFRP2 may be important for eye retinal development and for myogenesis.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the secreted frizzled-related protein (sFRP) family.

Tissue specificity

Expressed in adipose tissue, heart, brain, skeletal muscle, pancreas, thymus, prostate, testis, ovary, small intestine and colon. Highest levels in adipose tissue, small intestine and colon.
