Summary	Frizzled-8 is one of at least ten seven-transmembrane (7TM) glycoproteins of the Frizzled family of Wnt receptors. Frizzled proteins are thought to be G-protein-coupled. Wnt engagement, with low density lipoprotein receptor-related proteins LRP-5 or LRP-6 acting as co-receptors, stabilizes beta -catenin and promotes gene transcription that is important in development and tissue maintenance. Component of the Wnt-Fzd-LRP5-LRP6 complex that triggers beta-catenin signaling through inducing aggregation of receptor-ligand complexes into ribosome-sized signalosomes. The beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway leads to the activation of disheveled proteins, inhibition of GSK-3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and activation of Wnt target genes. These ligands bind the extracellular CRD of Frizzled-8, blocking Wnt binding. The recombinant Frizzled-8 CRD has also been used to block Wnt signaling and inhibit growth of teratocarcinomas.
