Functionⁱ

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. 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. Activation by Wnt8, Wnt5A or Wnt3A induces expression of beta-catenin target genes. Displays an axis-inducing activity.1 Publication

Expressionⁱ

Developmental stageⁱ

First expressed at high levels in the late blastula stages. At early gastrula, expressed in the deep cells of the Spemann organizer prior to involution of the dorsal blastopore lip. Detected in presumptive neurectoderm as gastrulation proceeds. Becomes restricted to the anterior ectoderm by the end of gastrulation. At neurula stages, localized in the most anterior region of the embryo, mainly in the anterior ectoderm including telencephalic and cement gland regions.
