Literature associating SFRP4 and metaphyseal dysplasia
SFRP4 [ENSP00000410715]
Frizzled protein, human endometrium; 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 (By similarity). SFRP4 plays a role in bone morphogenesis. May also act as a regulator of adult uterine morphology and function. May also increase apoptosis during ovulation possibly through modulation of FZ1/FZ4/WNT4 signaling (By similarity). Has phosphaturic effects by specifically inhibiting sodium-dependent phosphate uptake.
Synonyms: SFRP4, SFRP4p, hSFRP4, C9JMJ2, Q6FHJ7 ...
