Background: The frizzled gene, originally identified in Drosophila melanogaster, is involved in the development of tissue polarity. The frizzled proteins contain seven transmembrane domains, a cysteine-rich domain in the extracellular region and a carboxy-terminal Ser/Thr-XXX-Val motif. The proteins in this family function as receptors for Wnt and are generally coupled to G proteins. Frizzleds are members of the G protein-coupled receptor superfamily. Frizzled-2 is expressed in the fetal kidney and lung and in the adult ovary and colon. Frizzled-2 mediates the Wnt/cGMP/Ca2+ pathway. It binds Wnt proteins and signals by activating the release of stored calcium. Frizzled-2 expression is regulated by Angiotensin II. Activated frizzled-2 suppresses the activity of protein kinase G, and activates NFAT-dependent transcription, the phosphatidylinositol pathway and calcium sensitive enzymes.

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

Storage and Stability: Store at 4°C short term. Aliquot and store at -20°C long term. Avoid freeze-thaw cycles.

Bioworld Molecular Weight: ~ 65 kDa

Specificity: Frizzled-2 (E240) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Frizzled-2 protein.
