Gene nameDKK2
Protein nameDickkopf homolog 2 (Xenopus laevis), isoform CRA_a (Dickkopf-2 variant)
Dickkopf WNT signaling pathway inhibitor 2
Dickkopf-related protein 2 (Dickkopf-2) (Dkk-2) (hDkk-2)
SynonymshCG_19901
UNQ682/PRO1316
DescriptionFUNCTION: 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). .
