ID:SFRP5_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Secreted frizzled-related protein 5; Short=sFRP-5; AltName: Full=Frizzled-related protein 1b; Short=FRP-1b; AltName: Full=Secreted apoptosis-related protein 3; Short=SARP-3; Flags: Precursor; 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. SFRP5 may be involved in determining the polarity of photoreceptor, and perhaps, other cells in the retina. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted (By similarity). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Highly expressed in the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) and pancreas. Weak expression in heart, liver and muscle. DOMAIN: The FZ domain is involved in binding with Wnt ligands (By similarity). SIMILARITY: Belongs to the secreted frizzled-related protein (sFRP) family. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 FZ (frizzled) domain. SIMILARITY: Contains 1 NTR domain.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
