Description
Description: FRZB produced in Sf9 Insect cells is a single, glycosylated polypeptide chain containing 302 amino acids (33-325 a.a.) and having a molecular mass of 34.2kDa (Molecular size on SDS-PAGE will appear at approximately 28-40kDa). FRZB is expressed with a 9 amino acid His tag at C-Terminus and purified by proprietary chromatographic techniques.
Introductions: Frizzled-Related Protein (FRZB) is a secreted protein which is involved in the regulation of bone development. FRZB gene defects cause the female-specific osteoarthritis (OA) susceptibility. sFRPS (Soluble frizzled-related proteins) serve as modulators of Wnt signaling by direct interaction with Wnts. sFRPS have a role in regulating cell growth and differentiation in specific cell types. SFRP3/FRZB is involved in limb skeletogenesis. FRZB regulates chondrocyte maturation and long bone development
