Dickkopf related protein 1 (Dkk-1) is the founding member of the Dickkopf family of proteins that includes Dkk-1, -2, -3, -4, and a related protein, Soggy. Dkk proteins are secreted proteins that contain two conserved cysteine-rich domains separated by a linker region. Each domain contains ten cysteine residues . Mature human Dkk-1 is a 40 kDa glycosylated protein that shares 86%, 87%, 90% and 91% aa sequence identity with mouse, rat, rabbit and bovine Dkk-1, respectively. It also shares 42% and 36% aa identity with human Dkk-2 and Dkk-4, respectively. Dkk-1 and Dkk-4 are well documented antagonists of the canonical Wnt signaling pathway. This pathway is activated by Wnt engagement of a receptor complex composed of the Frizzled proteins and one of two low-density lipoprotein receptor-related proteins, LRP5 or LRP6 . Dkk-1 antagonizes Wnt by forming ternary complexes of LRP5/6 with Kremen1 or Kremen2. Dkk1/LRP6/Krm2 complex internalization has been shown to down-regulate Wnt signaling. Dkk-1 is expressed throughout development and antagonizes Wnt-7a during limb development. Other sites of expression include developing neurons, hair follicles and the retina of the eye .

Purity > 90% by SDS-PAGE. Biological Activity Measured by its ability to inhibit Wnt3a-induced alkaline phosphatase production by C3H10T1/2 cells. The ED50 for this effect is approximately 0.1-0.4 μg/mL in the presence of 10 ng/mL of mouse Wnt3a. Endotoxin < 1.0 EU per 1μg of the protein by the LAL method. Formulation Lyophilized from a 0.2 μm filtered concentrated solution in PBS, pH 7.4. Reconstitution We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Reconstitute in sterile distilled water or aqueous buffer containing 0.1% BSA to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. Stock solutions should be apportioned into working aliquots and stored at ≤ -20°C. Further dilutions should be made in appropriate buffered solutions. Shipping and Storage The products are shipped with ice pack and can be stored at -20℃ to -80℃ for 1 year. Recommend to aliquot the protein into smaller quantities when first used and avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. Cautions 1. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles. 2. For your safety and health, please wear lab coats and disposable gloves for operation. 3. For research use only.
