Other Information

**Key Characteristics** FZD4 is a transmembrane receptor that belongs to the Frizzled family of receptors, characterized by the presence of a seven-transmembrane domain and a cytoplasmic domain. It is highly expressed in various tissues, including the central nervous system, epithelial tissues, and endothelial cells. FZD4 has been shown to interact with Wnt proteins, which are secreted signaling molecules that regulate various cellular processes. The interaction between FZD4 and Wnt proteins triggers a series of signaling events that lead to the activation of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. **Pathways and Functions** FZD4 is involved in various signaling pathways, including: 1. **Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway**: FZD4 mediates Wnt signals that bind to its co-receptors, LRP5/6, triggering a series of downstream signaling events that lead to the regulation of gene expression, cell fate determination, and tissue development. 2. **Non-Canonical Wnt Signaling Pathway**: FZD4 also interacts with Wnt proteins to activate the non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway, which regulates cell migration, differentiation, and survival. 3. **Wnt5a-Dependent Internalization of FZD4**: FZD4 can be internalized by Wnt5a, leading to the regulation of its activity and the modulation of Wnt signaling. FZD4 plays a critical role in various cellular processes, including: 1. **Cell Proliferation and Differentiation**: FZD4 regulates cell proliferation and differentiation in various tissues, including the central nervous system and epithelial tissues. 2. **Cell Migration and Invasion**: FZD4 is involved in the regulation of cell migration and invasion, which is critical for tumor metastasis. 3. **Tissue Development and Homeostasis**: FZD4 plays a role in the regulation of tissue development and homeostasis, including the development of the central nervous system and epithelial tissues. **Clinical Significance** FZD4 has been implicated in various diseases, including: 1. **Cancer**: FZD4 is overexpressed in several types of cancer, including colorectal, breast, and lung cancer, and is associated with poor prognosis. 2. **Neurological Disorders**: FZD4 has been implicated in various neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis. 3. **Cardiovascular Diseases**: FZD4 has been shown to play a role in the regulation of cardiovascular development and function, and is associated with cardiovascular diseases, including atherosclerosis and hypertension. In conclusion, FZD4 is a critical component of the Wnt signaling pathway, which regulates various cellular processes, including cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and survival. Its dysregulation has been implicated in various diseases, including cancer, neurological disorders, and cardiovascular diseases. Further studies are needed to fully understand the role of FZD4 in human disease and to develop therapeutic strategies to target this receptor.
