Gene Summary

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. Required to coordinate the cytoskeletons of epidermal cells to produce a parallel array of cuticular hairs and bristles. (UniProt, O77438)

Summaries

Gene Group (FlyBase)

FRIZZLED-TYPE RECEPTORS -: The frizzled gene family belong to Class F GPCRs. Frizzled GPCRs are characterized by a large N-terminal extracellular domain containing a cysteine-rich ligand-binding domain. The frizzled genes were first identified in Drosophila. Frizzled proteins are receptors for secreted Wnt proteins, as well as other ligands, and also play a critical role in the regulation of cell polarity. Frizzleds function in three distinct signaling pathways - the planar cell polarity pathway, the canonical Wnt/β-catenin pathway, and the Wnt/calcium pathway. (Adapted from FBrf0222139).

Model Confidence:

Very high (pLDDT > 90)
Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.
