Source: NCBI Gene (ID 6424)
Symbol: SFRP4
Full name: secreted frizzled related protein 4
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Homo sapiens
Also known as: FRP-4; FRPHE; FRZB-2; PYL; sFRP-4
Summary: Secreted frizzled-related protein 4 (SFRP4) is a member of the SFRP family that contains a cysteine-rich domain homologous to the putative Wnt-binding site of Frizzled proteins. SFRPs act as soluble modulators of Wnt signaling. The expression of SFRP4 in ventricular myocardium correlates with apoptosis related gene expression. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
