Abstract

Protein products of frizzled genes are cell membrane receptors for Wnt proteins that play multiple roles during development. We examined the expression of nine frizzled genes in mouse chondrocytes, and detected transcripts of six of the nine genes. We also cloned the entire cDNA of mouse frizzled-1 and compared its cDNA sequence and the cysteine-rich and transmembrane domains of its translated product to sequences of frizzled-1 from C. elegans, Drosophila, chicken and human. We used the T31 Mouse/Hamster radiation hybrid panel to map the mouse frizzled-1 to mouse chromosome 5 (5 cM from the centromere), and frizzled-9 to mouse chromosome 5 (74 cM from the centromere).
