Sfrp2 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Enables Wnt-protein binding activity; endopeptidase activator activity; and receptor ligand activity. Involved in several processes, including branching involved in blood vessel morphogenesis; regulation of Wnt signaling pathway; and regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; negative regulation of signal transduction; and regulation of animal organ morphogenesis. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; embryo mesenchyme; eye; and genitourinary system. Orthologous to human SFRP2 (secreted frizzled related protein 2). [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 Sfrp2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
