Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable several functions, including Wnt-protein binding activity; frizzled binding activity; and heparin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to X-ray; cellular response to estrogen stimulus; and stromal-epithelial cell signaling involved in prostate gland development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; regulation of signal transduction; and reproductive structure development. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SFRP1 (secreted frizzled related protein 1).
