FZD2 Antibody Blocking Peptide

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 (PubMed:25759469). 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.
