FZD4 Antibody

1. This is the first study to report a group of patients with digenic familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR). In most affected eyes, the stage was more severe than stage 3. We speculate that the phenotype of FEVR is more severe in patients with digenic rather than monogenic variants of FEVR-related genes. PMID:30097784
2. FzM1.8 is an allosteric agonist of FZD4. In the absence of any WNT ligand, FzM1.8 binds to FZD4, promotes recruitment of heterotrimeric G proteins, and biases WNT signaling toward a noncanonical route that involves PI3K. In colon cancer cells, the FZD4/PI3K axis elicited by FzM1.8 preserves stemness and promotes proliferation of undifferentiated cells. PMID:29293331
