| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in cerebellum, T-cells, esophagus and lung. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Appears to be not glycosylated. Can be proteolytically processed by a furin-like protease. |
| 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. |
