PROTEIN

PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	a N terminal cysteine-rich domain that binds Wnt ligands and thus primes the Wnt signal pathway
	seven transmembrane segments (7TM)
	a C terminal hydrophilic segment, comprising the S/T-X-X-X-W motif

HOMOLOGY

interspecies

homolog to Drosophila frizzled polarity gene

Homologene

FAMILY	G protein coupled receptor superfamily
	Frizzled family of Wnt receptors

CATEGORY

receptor membrane G

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm

basic FUNCTION	exhibiting characteristics of a WNT receptor
	activating Dishevelled
	involved in signal transduction
	FZD2 and FZD7 are competent to signal via the canonical pathway
	extracellular N-terminal of the Fzd2 receptor has a cysteine-rich domain (CRD) that binds Wnt ligands and thus primes the Wnt signal pathway

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	ROR2 modulates the canonical Wnt signaling in lung epithelial cells through cooperation with FZD2
	genetic interactions between FZD2, FZD7 and VANGL2, DVL3 and WNT genes reflect interactions among different signaling pathways in developmental processes that are highly sensitive to perturbations in Frizzled signaling
	HMGA2 directly regulates GATA6 and thereby modulates FZD2 expression
	is implicated in the Wnt/PCP pathway, and is required for the WNT5A-mediated recruitment of DVL2 to the membrane
