Secreted Frizzled-related protein 2 is a procollagen C proteinase enhancer with a role in fibrosis associated with myocardial infarction.
2009
Secreted frizzled-related proteins (sFRPs) were reported to antagonise Chordin processing by Sizzled, a tolloid-like metalloproteinase in Xenopus and zebrafish. Surprisingly, mammalian sFRP2 enhances the activity of tolloid-like metalloproteinases on procollagen C to modulate fibrosis associated with cardiac injury.
