Immunoprecipitation of DKK1 transfected lysate using anti-DKK1 monoclonal antibody and Protein A Magnetic Bead (U0007), and immunoblotted with DKK1 MaxPab rabbit polyclonal antibody.
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
