Name :
Recombinant Human DKK-1 Protein (hFc Tag)
Biological Activity :
Background :
Dickkopf (DKK) family proteins, consisting of DKK-1, DKK-2, DKK-3 and DKK-4, function as secreted Wnt antagonists by inhibiting Wnt coreceptors LRP5/6. DKK-1, DKK-2, and DKK-4 also bind cell surface Kremen-1 or Kremen-2 and promote the internalization of LRP5/6. Dickkopf related protein 1 (DKK-1) was initially identified as an inducer of head formation in Xenopus embryos. DKK-1 protein modulates Wnt signaling pathway during embryonic development. Increased levels of DKK-1 are found in the majority of lung cancers, esophageal squamous cell carcinomas, and hormone-resistant breast cancers, while DKK-1 expression is decreased in malignant melanoma and colorectal cancers.
Biological Activity :
1.Measured by its ability to inhibit Wnt3a-induced alkaline phosphatase production by C3H10T1/2 cells. The ED50 for this effect is approximately 0.01-0.07μg/mL in the presence of 10 ng/mL of mouse Wnt3a.2.Loaded Recombinant Human LRP-6 Protein, His & AVI Tag, Avi-tag Biotinylated (Cat. No. 11968-H49H-B) on SA Biosensor, can bind Recombinant Human DKK-1 Protein, hFc Tag (Cat. No. 10170-H02H) with an affinity constant of 54.3 nM as determined in BLI assay (Sartorius Octet RED384) (Routinely tested).
