Members of the 'frizzled' gene family encode 7-transmembrane domain proteins that are receptors for Wnt signaling proteins. The FZD7 protein contains an N-terminal signal sequence, 10 cysteine residues typical of the cysteine-rich extracellular domain of Fz family members, 7 putative transmembrane domains, and an intracellular C-terminal tail with a PDZ domain-binding motif. FZD7 gene expression may downregulate APC function and enhance beta-catenin-mediated signals in poorly differentiated human esophageal carcinomas.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Peptide ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Peptide ELISA: Antibody detection limit dilution 1:64,000.
Western Blot: 0.3-1ug/ml; Approx 60kD band observed in lysates of cell lines HEK293 and HepG2 (calculated MW of 63.6kD according to NP_003498.1).
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
