Catalog Number P50772-M02S
Organism Species Mouse
Host CHO Stable Cells
Synonyms 5330434N09Rik,AI427138,Fz-5,Fz5,mFz5
Molecular Weight The recombinant mouse FZD5 /Fc is a disulfide-linked homodimer. The reduced monomer comprises 382 amino acids and has a predicted molecular mass of 42.9 kDa. The apparent molecular mass of the protein is approximately 52-56 kDa in SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions due to glycosylation.

Background Wnt signaling is involved in a variety of embryonic development processes of nonvertebrates and vertebrates, where it determines cell motility, cell polarity, differentiation, proliferation and apoptosis, as well as formation of neural synapses. Various homologs of the Wingless protein, termed WNT factors, represent key mediators and act through a receptor complex comprised of members of the Frizzled and low density lipoprotein-related receptors (LRP). 19 WNTs, 10 Frizzled, and 2 LRP proteins have been identified. Frizzled is a family of G protein-coupled receptor proteins consisting of a divergent signal peptide, a highly conserved extracellular cysteine-rich domain (CRD), a variable-length linker region, a seven-pass transmembrane domain, and a variable-length C-terminal tail.Frizzled 5 (FZD5) is believed to be the receptor for the Wnt5A ligand, and also interactions with Wnt10B, Wnt2B, and Wnt 7A functionally. Recent studies of WNT5A/Frizzled-5 signaling have revealed an unexpected and novel role in orchestrating adaptive immunity in response to microbial stimulation. In addition, FZD5 is also implicated in the survival of mature neurons in the parafascicular nucleus of the thalamus.
