| Subcellular Location | Secreted |
| Developmental Stage | NA |
| Similarity | NA |
| Tissue Specificity | Expressed in heart; brain; skeletal muscle and lung. |
| Post Translational Modification | May 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. |
