Previously we have cloned the human Frizzled 1 (HFz1) and shown that it transmits the Wnt-3a-induced canonical pathway. We also cloned the human Frizzled 6 (HFz6) and show in the present study that, as opposed to HFz1, HFz6 did not activate the canonical Wnt pathway following exposure to various Wnts, whether belonging to the Wnt-1 or to the Wnt-5a group. Moreover we show that HFz6 repressed Wnt-3a-induced...
