Summary
This gene encodes a protein that is a member of the dickkopf family. It is a secreted protein with two cysteine rich regions and is involved in embryonic development through its inhibition of the WNT signaling pathway. Elevated levels of DKK1 in bone marrow plasma and peripheral blood is associated with the presence of osteolytic bone lesions in patients with multiple myeloma. [provided by RefSeq].

- Analysis of individual Dkk domains & chimeric Dkks shows that the carboxy-terminal domains of both Dkk1 & 2 associate with LRP6 & are necessary & sufficient for Wnt8 inhibition. The NH2-terminal of Dkk1 plays an inhibitory role in Dkk-LRP interactions.

- DKK1 and SFRP1 inhibit the transformed phenotype of breast cancer cell lines, and DKK1 inhibits tumor formation.
