Human Dickkopf Related Protein 3 ELISA Kit (DKK3)

Dickkopf-Related Protein 3; Dickkopf-3; Dkk-3; Hdkk-3

Uniprot ID: SEM4C_HUMAN ; Gene ID: 27122 ; Gene Symbol: DKK3

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.
