Abstract excerpt
Frizzled 4 belongs to the superfamily of G protein coupled receptors. The unstructured cytosolic tail of the receptor is essential for its activity. The mutation L501fsX533 in the fz4 gene results in a new COOH-tail of the receptor and causes a form of Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy. Here w...
