Target Information
Target NameDickkopf-Related Protein 2; Dickkopf-2; Dkk-2; Hdkk-2Database LinksUniprot ID: S10A8_HUMAN ; Reactome: R-HSA-201681 ; Gene ID: 27123About TargetTissue Specificity: Expressed in heart, brain, skeletal muscle and lung.
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.
