fz721

Fz7-21 ((Ac)-LPSDDLEFWCHVMY-NH2) is a peptide antagonist of FZD7 . It antagonises WNT3A-induced Wnt-β-catenin signalling in HEK293 expressing FZD7. Fz7-21 impairs Wnt/β-catenin signaling in HEK293 cells stimulated with exogenous WNT3A (IC50=100 nM) or transfected with a construct expressing WNT3A or WNT1. Fz7-21 also blocks WNT3A-mediated stabilization of β-catenin in mouse L cells (IC50=50 nM).

Fz7-21 TFA ((Ac)-LPSDDLEFWCHVMY-NH2 TFA), a peptide antagonist of Frizzled 7 (FZD 7) receptors, selectively binds to FZD7 CRD subclass. The EC50 values are 58 and 34 nM for human and mouse FZD7 CRD, respectively.
