FAMILY

SFRP family of WNT inhibitors family

CATEGORY

tumor suppressor , signaling

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm

basic FUNCTION	likely involved in WNT binding and signal transduction
	may be involved in morphogenesis of the skeleton
	may have a tumor suppressive potential in osteogenic sarcoma (OGS)
	secreted Wnt antagonist, exhibiting potent antitumor activity against prostate cancer, an epithelial type of malignancy
	may play an important role in metastatic renal cancer
	its expression promotes cell growth, invasion, and inhibition of apoptosis in renal cancer cells
	with others SFRP family of WNT inhibitors members, function as novel tumor suppressor gene epigenetically silenced in medulloblastoma
	essential functions of BCL11A in neuronal morphogenesis and sensory wiring of the dorsal spinal cord and FRZB, a component of the WNT pathway, is a downstream acting molecule involved in this process
	SFRP1 and FRZB act as WNT signaling pathway antagonists and play an important role in embryonic development and carcinogenesis
