Antigen Description : |
DKK1 ( dickkopf related protein 1 ) is a head inducer secreted from the vertebrate head organizer and belongs to the DKK protein family including four members. DKK1 is synthesized initially as a precursor protein with an N-terminal signal peptide and two cysteine-rich domains. DKK proteins have distinct patterns of expression in adult and embryonic tissues and have effects on Wnt signaling implicated in diverse processes. Dkk1 is a specific and high-affinity ligand for LRP6 ( LDL-receptor-related protein 6 ) acting as a Wnt co-receptor. Dkk1 blocks LRP6-mediated Wnt/beta-catenin signaling by antagonistically inhibiting the formation of Wnt-Fz-LRP6 complex which triggers the Wnt signal pathway. It is revealed that Wnt signaling in osteoblasts is necessary to promote BMP-2-mediated differentiation of pre-osteoblast cells, and therefore, DKK1 may play a key role in regulating pre-osteoblast differentiation and the development of multiple myeloma-associated osteolytic bone lesions. |
