disease:Associated with tumor-induced osteomalacia, a disorder in which there is an increase in renal phosphate excretion and a reduction in serum phosphate levels leading to hyperphosphaturia, hypophosphatemia and rickets.,domain:The FZ domain is involved in binding with Wnt ligands.,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. SFRP4 may act as a regulator of adult uterine morphology and function. Increases apoptosis during ovulation possibly through modulation of FZ1/FZ4/WNT4 signaling (By similarity). Has phosphaturic effects by specifically inhibiting sodium-dependent phosphate uptake.,induction:Increased levels in failing myocardium. Up-regulated in several tumor types including ostomalacia-associated tumors and endometrial and breast carcinomas.,similarity:Belongs to the secreted frizzled-related protein (sFRP) family.,similarity:Contains 1 FZ (frizzled) domain.,similarity:Contains 1 NTR domain.,tissue specificity:Expressed in mesenchymal cells. Highly expressed in the stroma of proliferative endometrium. Expressed in cardiomyocytes.,
Secreted . Cytoplasmic in ovarian tumor cells.
Expressed in mesenchymal cells. Highly expressed in the stroma of proliferative endometrium. Expressed in cardiomyocytes. Shows moderate to strong expression in ovarian tumors with expression increasing as the tumor stage increases. In ovarian tumors, expression levels are inversely correlated with expression of CTNNB1 (at protein level).
