DKK-1 Protein, Human Recombinant

Descrição detalhada : Dickkopf related protein 1 (Dkk1) is the founding member of the Dickkopf family of proteins that includes Dkk1, 2, 3, 4, and a related protein, Soggy. Subsequent studies have shown that DKK-1 and DKK-4 play an important regulatory role in the Wnt /beta-catenin signaling pathway by forming inhibitory complexes with LDL receptor-related proteins 5 and 6 (LRP5 and LRP6), which are essential components of the Wnt/betacatenin signaling system. LPR5 and LPR6 are single-pass transmembrane proteins that appear to act as co-receptors for Wnt ligands involved in the Wnt/betacatenin signaling cascade. It has been suggested that by inhibiting Wnt/beta-catenin signaling, which is essential for posterior patterning in vertebrates, DKK-1 permits anterior development. This notion is supported by the finding that mice deficient of DKK-1 expression lack head formation and die during embryogenesis. Recombinant human DKK-1 expressed in human 293 cells is a 35-40 kDa glycoprotein containing 235 amino-acid residues., Product Source: HEK293 Cells
