研究方向
DKK-3 蛋白通过阻止 LRP5/6 和 Wnt 之间的相互作用并与跨膜蛋白 KREMEN 形成三元复合物,从而促进 LRP5/6 的内化,从而充当经典 Wnt 信号传导的拮抗剂。在脊椎动物发育中,DKK(包括 DKK-3)通过局部抑制 Wnt 调节过程(例如前后轴模式、肢体发育、体节发生和眼睛形成)发挥着至关重要的作用。在成人中,DKK 与多种生理和病理状况有关,包括骨形成、骨疾病、癌症和阿尔茨海默氏病(通过相似性)。值得注意的是,DKK-3 与 LRP5 和 LRP6 的相互作用凸显了其在抑制 Wnt 信号传导中的调节作用及其对各种细胞过程的潜在影响。

背景信息
Dkk-3, also known as REIC (Reduced Expansion in Immortalized Cells), is one of four numbered members of the Dickkopf family of Wnt antagonists . Dkk-3 is a secreted monomer expressed in many normal human tissues, most strongly in heart, brain and spinal cord, and during early embryonic development in the mouse.Dkk-3 contains two cysteine rich regions and is involved in embryonic development through its interactions with the Wnt signaling pathway. The DKK3 protein is proposed to function as a secreted tumor suppressor since it is downregulated in a number of cancer cells and prostate cancer tissue. DKK3 protein is also a negative regulator of beta-catenin and its downregulation contribute to an activation of the beta-catenin signaling pathway.
