Gene: SFRP4

Alternate names for this Gene: FRP-4|FRPHE|FRZB-2|PYL|sFRP-4

Gene 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.

Gene is located in Chromosome: 7

Location in Chromosome : 7p14.1

Description of this Gene: secreted frizzled related protein 4

Type of Gene: protein-coding
