Product details:
Mouse FRZB ELISA kit (ab283540) is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of Mouse FRZB protein in mouse serum, plasma and cell culture supernatant samples. It uses our proprietary SimpleStep ELISA® technology. Quantitate Mouse FRZB with 96.99 pg/mL sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.
FRZB is a Wnt-binding regulatory protein involved in embryonic development, the regulation of chondrocyte maturation, and long bone development. Osteoarthritis and Holzgreve Syndrome are associated with mutations the FRZB protein. FRZB knockout mice have increased cortical thickness.

FRZB also known as secreted frizzled-related protein 3 (SFRP3) functions as a modulator of Wnt signaling pathways. This protein has a mass of approximately 36 kDa and serves as an antagonist to the Wnt proteins by binding to them preventing their interaction with cell surface receptors. FRZB is expressed in several tissues with notable levels in cartilage bone and the heart.
Biological function summary
The modulation of Wnt signaling by FRZB plays a significant role in embryonic development and tissue homeostasis. FRZB is not part of a protein complex but has important interactions with other components of the signaling cascade. It influences cell differentiation proliferation and apoptosis which are critical processes during development and tissue repair.
Pathways
FRZB influences both Wnt/β-catenin and non-canonical Wnt pathways. Its interaction with these pathways regulates signal transmission that affects cellular behaviors. Related proteins include Wnt ligands and frizzled receptors which are central to these signaling mechanisms.
Abnormalities in FRZB expression or function show a connection to osteoarthritis and certain cancers. In osteoarthritis FRZB interacts with Wnt proteins which contribute to the degradation of cartilage. In cancer dysregulation of Wnt signaling involving FRZB can lead to unchecked cell proliferation. Understanding its role in these diseases can aid in developing therapeutic strategies.
