Background: sFRP-4

Secreted Frizzled Related Protein-4 (sFRP-4), also known as DDC-4, FrpAP, frpHE and FrzB-2, belongs to a family of Wnt-binding proteins with homology to the ligand-binding domain of the Frizzled receptors (1, 2). The sFRP proteins are approximately 30-35 kDa in size and contain an N-terminal Frizzled-like domain with 10 conserved cysteines and a Netrin-like C-terminal domain (1-3). Of all the sFRPs, sFRP-4 is most closely related to sFRP-3 (1). Mature mouse sFRP-4 shares 92% and 96% amino acid (aa) sequence identity with human and rat sFRP-4, respectively. sFRP-4 is expressed in brain, kidney, lung, ovary, prostate, mammary gland, and endometrium (1, 2). This protein shows complex functions with respect to cell survival: it is up‑regulated with apoptosis during ovulation (3), regulates apoptosis in chondrocytes (4), and promotes apoptosis in mammary glands when expressed in transgenic mice (5). On the other hand, sFRP-4 can also act to enhance growth as it is up‑regulated in endometrial and breast carcinomas (6, 7). Since it is not detected in other carcinomas such as the ovary, colon, and pancreas, its role in cancer is likely to be tissue dependent (6). In addition, sFRP-4 is characterized as a circulating phosphaturic factor expressed by tumors associated with osteomalacia that antagonizes renal Wnt signaling (8).
