DKK1是一種調節(jié)細胞分化和增殖的蛋白質。最新的研究表明，DKK1在許多疾病中都扮演著重要角色。例如，它與骨質疏松、糖尿病、癌癥、風濕性關節(jié)炎等疾病的發(fā)病機制密切相關。近期的一些研究還表明，DKK1參與了神經系統(tǒng)發(fā)育和退化過程，與阿爾茨海默病等神經系統(tǒng)疾病有關。此外，DKK1的過度表達還被發(fā)現(xiàn)與器官纖維化和損傷修復等過程中的組織重塑相關。因此，DKK1在疾病發(fā)病機制和治療中具有潛在的應用價值。

Antagonizes canonical Wnt signaling by inhibiting LRP5/6 interaction with Wnt and by forming a ternary complex with the transmembrane protein KREMEN that promotes internalization of LRP5/6. DKKs play an important role in vertebrate development, where they locally inhibit Wnt regulated processes such as antero-posterior axial patterning, limb development, somitogenesis and eye formation. In the adult, Dkks are implicated in bone formation and bone disease, cancer and Alzheimer disease. Inhibits the pro-apoptotic function of KREMEN1 in a Wnt-independent manner, and has anti-apoptotic activity.
