Recombinant Mouse DKK1 protein (His tag)

Product Specifications

Background

Antagonizes canonical Wnt signaling by inhibiting LRP5/6 interaction with Wnt and by forming a ternary complex with the transmembrane protein KREMEN that promotes internalization of LRP5/6. Inhibits the pro-apoptotic function of KREMEN1 in a Wnt-independent manner, and has anti-apoptotic activity. Plays a role in limb development, attenuates Wnt signaling in the developing limb to allow normal limb patterning.
