Frizzled class receptor 7

Molecular classification
G protein-coupled receptor, Receptor
01

Overview

Frizzled class receptor 7 (FZD7) is a member of the frizzled gene family, encoding a seven-transmembrane domain receptor primarily functioning as a cell surface receptor for Wnt signaling proteins. It plays crucial roles in embryonic development, cell polarity, neural synapse formation, stem cell maintenance, and is frequently upregulated in several cancers including colorectal cancer, hepatocellular carcinoma, and triple-negative breast cancer. Upon ligand binding, it activates the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway and non-canonical pathways like PCP and Wnt/calcium, impacting cell proliferation, differentiation, and cytoskeletal organization.
