DKK1

This gene encodes a member of the dickkopf family of proteins. Members of this family are secreted proteins characterized by two cysteine-rich domains that mediate protein-protein interactions. The encoded protein binds to the LRP6 co-receptor and inhibits beta-catenin-dependent Wnt signaling. This gene plays a role in embryonic development and may be important in bone formation in adults. Elevated expression of this gene has been observed in numerous human cancers and this protein may promote proliferation, invasion and growth in cancer cell lines.
Predicted location

Secreted

Single cell type specificity

Cell type enhanced (Prostatic glandular cells, Basal prostatic cells, Endometrial stromal cells, Urothelial cells, Pancreatic endocrine cells)

Immune cell specificity

Not detected in immune cells

Cell line specificity

Cell line enhanced (BJ, BJ hTERT+, CACO-2, fHDF/TERT166)

Interaction

Interacts with LRP6 (PubMed:11448771, PubMed:17804805, PubMed:20093360, PubMed:22000856). Interacts (via the C-termianl Cys-rich domain) with LRP5 (via beta-propeller regions 3 and 4); the interaction, enhanced by MESD and or KREMEN, antagonizes Wnt-mediated signaling (PubMed:19746449). Forms a ternary complex with LRP6 and KREM1 (PubMed:27524201). Interacts with KREM1 (PubMed:17804805).
