Frizzled 7 and PIP2 binding by syntenin PDZ2 domain supports Frizzled 7 trafficking and signalling [PDF]
PDZ domain-containing proteins are known to function as intracellular scaffolds. Here, Egea-Jimenez et al. report the structure of the tandem PDZ domains of syntenin in complex with a Frizzled 7 peptide and PIP2, show that the ligands bind to syntenin ...

Phosphorylation of Frizzled-3 [PDF]
Wnts are secreted proteins important to many biological processes. frizzled genes encode a family of Wnt receptors that signal to the intracellular compartment through the cytosolic protein Disheveled. Limited information is available concerning the regulation of Frizzleds at a biochemical level. We report here that Xenopus Frizzled-3 is phosphorylated

Frizzled‐4 is required for normal bone acquisition despite compensation by Frizzled‐8 [PDF]
AbstractThe activation of the Wnt/β‐catenin signaling pathway is critical for skeletal development but surprisingly little is known about the requirements for the specific frizzled (Fzd) receptors that recognize Wnt ligands. To define the contributions of individual Fzd proteins to osteoblast function, we profiled the expression of all 10 mammalian ...

Clinical significance of frizzled homolog 3 protein in colorectal cancer patients. [PDF]
Frizzled homolog 3 receptor was up-regulated in several gastrointestinal cancers such as esophageal and gastric cancers. Moreover, frizzled homolog 3 has recently reported to be expressed in colorectal adenoma specimens.

Wnt Signaling: Pathogen Incursion and Immune Defense
Wnt ligands interact with the transmembrane cell surface receptors Frizzled and ROR/RYK to initiate complex signaling cascades that are crucial for cell physiology and the proper functioning of the immune system.

Wnt-Frizzled Signaling Regulates Activity-Mediated Synapse Formation
The formation of synapses is a tightly regulated process that requires the coordinated assembly of the presynaptic and postsynaptic sides. Defects in synaptogenesis during development or in the adult can lead to neurodevelopmental disorders, neurological

LRP5/6 directly bind to Frizzled and prevent Frizzled-regulated tumour metastasis [PDF]
How Wnt signalling including canonical and non-canonical pathways are initiated at the cell surface is not completely understood. Here we report that Wnt receptor Frizzled (Frz) and theco-receptors LRP5 and LRP6 (LRP5/6) directly interact with each other and this interaction is regulated by the LRP6 ectodomain.

Gradient-independent Wnt signaling instructs asymmetric neurite pruning in C. elegans
During development, the nervous system undergoes a refinement process by which neurons initially extend an excess number of neurites, the majority of which will be eliminated by the mechanism called neurite pruning.

Structure-based Discovery of Novel Small Molecule Wnt Signaling Inhibitors by Targeting the Cysteine-rich Domain of Frizzled. [PDF]
Frizzled is the earliest discovered glycosylated Wnt protein receptor and is critical for the initiation of Wnt signaling. Antagonizing Frizzled is effective in inhibiting the growth of multiple tumor types.
