Name | Dkk4 |

Function | 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. DKKs play an important role in vertebrate development, where they locally inhibit Wnt regulated processes such as antero-posterior axial patterning, limb development, somitogenesis and eye formation. In the adult, Dkks are implicated in bone formation and bone disease, cancer and Alzheimer disease (By similarity). |

Background
Xenopus Dickkopf (Dkk) was initially discovered as a Wnt antagonist that plays an important role in head formation. By far, four members of Dkk have been identified in mammals. Each Dkk molecule contains two conserved cysteine-rich domains which are separated by a 50-55 amino acid linker region. Dkk4 is a secreted glycoprotein and has three immune-reactive sites at 15-17kDa, 30-32kDa and at 40kDa.
