Frizzled 2 is a receptor for Wnt proteins. Most of the frizzled receptors are coupled to the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway, which leads to the activation of dishevelled proteins, inhibition of GSK3 kinase, nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and activation of Wnt target genes. A second signaling pathway involving PKC and calcium fluxes has been seen for some family members, but it is not yet clear if it represents a distinct pathway or if it can be integrated in the canonical pathway, as PKC seems to be required for Wnt-mediated inactivation of GSK3 kinase. Both pathways seem to involve interactions with G-proteins.
