Background: Frizzled-9

Frizzled-9 (Fzd9, previously called Fzd3) belongs to the Frizzled family of seven-transmembrane glycoprotein receptors, which are signaling receptors for the family of secreted Wnt ligands (1-3). Mature human Frizzled-9 consists of a 207 amino acid (aa) N-terminal extracellular domain (ECD), the 7TM region, and a 62 aa C-terminal cytoplasmic domain with a PDZ binding motif. The ECD includes a cysteine-rich region that binds Wnts and is highly conserved among Frizzleds. Within aa 23-185 of the N-terminal ECD, human Frizzled-9 shares 97% aa identity with mouse and rat Frizzled-9. The human Frizzled-9 gene maps to a large region that is deleted in Williams-Beuren syndrome, a developmental disorder affecting personality and cognition (2). Frizzled-9 mRNA is expressed in the central nervous system and myotomes during development, and it persists in the hippocampus throughout life (2-4). Adults also show expression in heart, testis, and skeletal muscle (2-4). Cellular expression is detected in proliferating neural precursors, B lymphocyte progenitors, differentiating osteoblasts, and developing myotubes of skeletal muscle (4-7). Mice lacking Frizzled-9 exhibit defects in learning, B lymphocyte development, and bone mineralization (4-6, 8). Frizzled-9 can signal through both canonical and non-canonical pathways (6, 9). Its binding to Wnt-7a promotes the activation of PPAR gamma, expression of Cadherin and Sprouty, and reversal of non-small cell lung cancer cell transformation (10-12).
