Frizzled-7 (Y87) polyclonal antibody

The frizzled gene, originally identified in Drosophila melanogaster, is involved in the development of tissue polarity. The mammalian homolog of frizzled, as well as several secreted mammalian frizzled-related proteins: FRP-1 (also designated SARP2), FRP-2 (also designated SARP1), FRP-3, FRP-4 and SARP3 (also designated FRP-5), have been identified. The frizzled proteins contain seven transmembrane domains, a cysteine-rich domain in the extracellular region and a carboxy terminal Ser/Thr-xxx-Val motif. They function as receptors for Wnt. frizzled-7 has a Lys-Thr-X-X-X-Trp motif which is involved in the activation of the Wnt/beta-catenin signaling pathway. frizzled-7 is an integral membrane protein showing a high expression in adult skeletal muscle, fetal kidney, fetal lung, adult heart, brain and placenta. It is specifically expressed in squamous cell esophageal carcinomas.

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .
