Gene:
secreted frizzled-related protein 2
Gene ID:
191834
Symbol:
SFRP2
Species:
1000
Description:
This gene encodes a member of the SFRP family that contains a cysteine-rich domain homologous to the putative Wnt-binding site of Frizzled proteins. SFRPs act as soluble modulators of Wnt signaling. Methylation of this gene is a potential marker for the presence of colorectal cancer.
