Fzd6 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables Wnt-protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell proliferation in midbrain; embryonic morphogenesis; and establishment of body hair planar orientation. Located in apical plasma membrane; apicolateral plasma membrane; and endoplasmic reticulum membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; integumental system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nonsyndromic congenital nail disorder 1. Orthologous to human FZD6 (frizzled class receptor 6). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Fzd6 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
