Extra Details:: The Wnt genes encode a large family of glycoproteins that are essential in development and tissue maintenance (1). Members of the Frizzled family of proteins serve as receptors for the Wnt signaling pathway (2). The predicted structure of Frizzled proteins is similar among all family members, containing a divergent N-terminal signal peptide, a highly conserved extracellular cysteine-rich domain (CRD), a variable-length linker region, a seven-pass transmembrane region, and a variable-length C-terminal cytoplasmic domain. The CRD, which comprises the Wnt binding site, spans about 130 amino acid residues and contains ten invariant cysteine residues. Mouse Frizzled-7 contains 572 amino acid residues and shares 99% identity with the human orthologue in the CRD (3, 4). Frizzled-7 mRNA has been detected in relatively large amounts in adult skeletal muscle, plancenta and heart, and fetal kidney and lung (3). Several Frizzled-dependent signaling pathways exist (2). Their activation depends on the Wnt ligand and the cell context. Frizzled-7 can activate canonical Wnt/ beta -Catenin signaling, as well as a non-canonical pathway involved in tissue morphogenesis (4, 5). Applications: Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunohistochemistry. Other applications not tested. Recommended Dilution: Western Blot: 0.25ug/ml shows lysates of HepG2 human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line. Immunohistochemistry: 5-15ug/ml in immersion fixed frozen sections of embryonic mouse gastrointestinal tract (11 d.p.c.). Optimal dilution determined by the researcher. Storage and Stability: Lyophilized and reconstituted products are stable for 12 months after receipt at -20°C. Reconstitute with sterile PBS. Aliquot to avoid repeated freezing and thawing. Store at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
