Facts about Frizzled-9.
May play a role in neural progenitor cells (NPCs) viability through the beta-catenin canonical signaling pathway by negatively regulating cell cycle arrest resulting in inhibition of neuron apoptotic process (PubMed:27509850). Throughout hippocampal development, regulates neuroblast proliferation and apoptotic cell death.

Expressed predominantly in adult and fetal brain, testis, eye, skeletal muscle and kidney. Moderately expressed in pancreas, thyroid, adrenal cortex, small intestine and stomach. Detected in fetal liver and kidney. Expressed in neural progenitor cells (PubMed:27509850).
Cell membrane; Multi-pass membrane protein. Relocalizes DVL1 to the cell membrane leading to phosphorylation of DVL1 and AXIN1 relocalization to the cell membrane.
