epitope corresponding to amino acids 386-579 mapping within a C-terminal extracellular domain of MFRP of human origin
Modification Notes
MFRP (membrane frizzled-related protein) is a single pass type II membrane protein with two cubilin (CUB) domians, two LDL-receptor class A domains, a cysteine-rich domain (CRD) and seven N-glycosylation sites. The C-terminal CRD is related to the Wnt-binding domain of the frizzled family of transmembrane proteins suggesting that MFRP may act as a Wnt receptor. MFRP is predominantly expressed in retinal pigment epithelial cells, colocalizing to the plasma membrane with CTRP5. MFRP interacts with CTRP5 via its CUB domain and may play a role in the development of the eye. Functional MFRP is necessary for photoreceptor maintenance and appears to regulate the axial length of the eye. Mutations in the gene encoding MFRP can affect various structures in the eye and may result in nanophthalmos 2 (NNO2), an eye disorder characterized by extreme hyperopia.
