Antagonizes canonical Wnt signaling by inhibiting LRP5/6 interaction with Wnt and by forming a teary complex with the transmembrane protein KREMEN that promotes intealization of LRP5/6. DKKs play an important role in vertebrate development, where they locally inhibit Wnt regulated processes such as antero- posterior axial patteing, limb development, somitogenesis and eye formation. In the adult, Dkks are implicated in bone formation and bone disease, cancer and Alzheimer disease (By similarity). .
Background
DKK4 is a membersof the Dickkopf family which are negative regulators of the growth-promoting Wnt / beta-catenin signaling pathway. By FISH, the DKK4 gene was mapped to chromosome 8p11.2-p11.1. The secreted protein contains two cysteine rich regions and is involved in embryonic development through its interactions with the Wnt signaling pathway. Activity of this protein is modulated by binding to the Wnt co-receptor and the co-factor kremen 2. The expression of DKK4 was significantly reduced in hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs), particularly in HCCs that showed cytoplasmic beta- catenin accumulation. DKK4 expression was also reduced in HCC cell lines. Ectopic expression of DKK4 in 2 HCC cell lines reduced beta-catenin and cyclin D1 protein levels and attenuated beta-catenin activity in reporter gene assays.
