Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in kidney and embryonic heart. Also highly expressed in the eye, where it is principally localized to the ciliary body and the lens epithelium. Weaker expression in heart, lung and brain. In the brain, is expressed exclusively in the choroid plexus. |

Function | Soluble frizzled-related proteins (sFRPS) function as modulators of Wnt signaling through direct interaction with Wnts. They have a role in regulating cell growth and differentiation in specific cell types. SFRP1 decreases intracellular beta-catenin levels. Has antiproliferative effects on vascular cells, in vitro and in vivo, and can induce, in vivo, an angiogenic response. In vascular cell cycle, delays the G1 phase and entry into the S phase. In kidney development, inhibits tubule formation and bud growth in metanephroi. Inhibits WNT1/WNT4-mediated TCF-dependent transcription. |
