Target Background

Function
Receptor for Wnt proteins. Most frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin (CTNNB1) canonical signaling pathway, which leads to the activation of disheveled proteins, inhibition of GSK-3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin (CTNNB1) and activation of Wnt target genes. Plays a critical role in retinal vascularization by acting as a receptor for Wnt proteins and norrin (NDP). In retina, it can be activated by Wnt protein-binding and also by Wnt-independent signaling via binding of norrin (NDP), promoting in both cases beta-catenin (CTNNB1) accumulation and stimulation of LEF/TCF-mediated transcriptional programs. 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.
Gene References into Functions
  1. This is the first study to report a group of patients with digenic familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR). In most affected eyes, the stage was more severe than stage 3. We speculate that the phenotype of FEVR is more severe in patients with digenic rather than monogenic variants of FEVR-related genes. PMID: 30097784
  2. FzM1.8 is an allosteric agonist of FZD4. In the absence of any WNT ligand, FzM1.8 binds to FZD4, promotes recruitment of heterotrimeric G proteins, and biases WNT signaling toward a noncanonical route that involves PI3K. In colon cancer cells, the FZD4/PI3K axis elicited by FzM1.8 preserves stemness and promotes proliferation of undifferentiated cells. PMID: 29293331
  3. FZD4 Tyrosine 250(2.39) is crucial for DVL2 interaction and DVL2 translocation to the plasma membrane. PMID: 28668722

Seven novel mutations found in this study have broadened the spectrum of mutations in FZD4 known to cause familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR), providing a deeper understanding of this disease.

  13. Among the detected mutations, LRP5 accounted for the largest proportion with a mean mutation rate of 16.1% (5/31, 16.1%), followed by NDP (3/31, 9.7%), FZD4 (2/31, 6.5%), TSPAN12 (1/31, 3.2%), and KIF11 (1/31, 3.2%).
